Bicycles are a great way to get around town and stay in shape but they don't exactly offer a lot of thrills. Unless you have a mountain in your backyard that you can bomb down, the most excitement you're going to get out of your bike is riding through the park. It's time to amp up your exercise a bit with the Magic One Wheel.
Part bicycle and part skateboard, the Magic One Wheel will not only keep those leg muscles burning but also keep you guessing whether or not you're going to make it to work alive. Racing through city streets and dodging traffic with this thing isn't for the faint of heart. I'd personally like to try this ride out for myself--better call up State Farm first though.
