How the mighty have fallen

posted at 4:15 PM in Announcements and News |

Hydrobike Harvey explored some previously unexplored areas of physics with a hydrobike today and manged (in the process) to in fact invert said hydrobike.  It turns out that hydrobikes are *amazingly* stable *unless* you walk out to the outermost end of one of the pontoons while holding onto some part of the frame.  In this case, the weight shift causes what some in NASA might call “catastrophic failure”.   Enjoy the photos
