French company Seabike has developed a swimming device that uses your own leg power to accelerate you through the water at superhuman speeds. This crank-driven pusher prop looks a bit like an underwater unicycle... We'd love to take one for a spin!
Clipping into pedals is pretty common actually (which is actually called clipless despite having clips), at least with road bikes and racing. The idea is clipping your shoe to the pedal makes your pedaling more efficient.
Personally, I prefer flats in case I need to hop off quickly, like if I’m about to get hit by some dipshit in an SUV.
I rode clipless pedals for mountain bike racing (cross country). It is so much more efficient and they have shoes with thicker soles and deep treads which makes them more comfortable to walk in.
They also make jumping over small obstacles and rocks easier and safer.
Yep. I just use the clips with the smallest degree of pop out…works great and I never noticed being “delayed” to get my foot out and onto the ground if I need it. Even in some VERY time sensitive situations
You unclip, same as with a bicycle.
What bicycles require you to be strapped into them?

That’s why I asked, I’ve never seen anyone do it before. Pretty much for exactly that reason.

Any bike with clipped pedals???
hard to imagine it’s truly the same. would be interested to see the process
They probably rotate their foot 45° to lock and unlock.
aha i just saw the “seat”. guess thats what makes it possible
You thought the thing was just entirely untethered?
