When I was in college I had an idea that I wanted to work on and patent that I figured was going to make me a millionaire. But then I discovered beer. Anyhow I just found that someone else got the same idea and made some improvements that I never even thought of. shuttlebikeusa.com If that link doesn't work, try this one: shuttlebikeusa.com Perhaps he's not a millionaire yet but if enough trail bikers see this it might just catch on. It is such a smart design. I love the idea of how how he inflates the pontoons. Apparently the propeller is air powered by pressurized air from cranking the pedals with the pump mechanism attached to the rear wheel. Great idea. Especially how the entire kit fits in a small back pack. My design used solid reinforced sytrofoam pontoons and had a mechanized propeller off the back with a rudder attached to the front. Never made it off the drawing board though. Their website: shuttlebikeusa.com I don't see a price list on their site. I imagine it isn't cheap in price but then again neither are the cost of some of these bikes today. The dude may have found a niche.
