Has cycling gone too far? Does this surpass the recumbent and the Fliz in regards to usefulness, retardedness or Fredness? Is this the new Segway for those who prefer to stand AND want to tone the legs at the same time?

I was enjoying my morning commute when this dude basically dressed like pic related and on pic related, blew through a stop sign in front of me and made a left like his elliptical-having ass was being chased by the police. Never seeing this before, I nearly strained my neck watching this guy pump into the distance as fast as he could 'run'.

The fuck is going on here? Will these catch on? Have you ridden one?
