In the name of all things blogworthy (which to be said thesedays, is remarkably little), on my blog’s first anniversery, I’m stuck writing about nothing but bobbleheads and wannabe new skateboard designs. Oh great rumour mill, save us! That said, when there are rumours, we complain, when there aren’t, we complain. At least it adds an element of surprise.

Of course the wannabe skateboard I’m referring to is the Magicwheel. It looks tacky, it sounds like a joke and even though it works pretty darn well, if they can’t cut down on the size dramatically, I can’t see how tthe Magicwheel will sell at all. Think of a unicycle, crossed with a skateboard, crossed with rollerskates and then mashed up with a bicycle. It’s just not meant to happen. Grab yourself a segway and begone with sich primitive, foot-propelled devices. Who seriously wants to spend their free time doing anything but leaving forward on a motorised, geeky gadget?

With a top speed od 20MPH, the Magicwheel, some fear, will lead to a sharp increase in idiot-related-accidents. We’ll have to wait and see… Afterall, there are people still complaining about 5MPH segways.
