The Next Segway?
Imagine a bike with one of those things rigged up to it? See some slow riders on the bike bath, or hit a bad patch of traffic on the streets just hit the switch and float away. An on board rechargeable battery could power the upward thrust and your pedal forces could be converted into forward momentum by way of a rear mounted propeller, and while your at it you would probably want as much suspension as possible to cushion your return to earth. Is this one of the most absurd ideas ever? probably but honestly how wouldn't want a flying bike? It would be expensive, heavy, dangerous, and generally impractical, it might even give you a legitimate reason to use a top tube pad! Sign me up lets hope they start shipping in 2009, now someone go out and make some!
