@gabydewilde i used to have a bike windscreen with defunct struts and then propped it up with a tiny cross, .. always like desymbolizin refunctionations ... bout that trip-offer. I can take 4 easily so if any of your acquaintance inventers between here and paris .....

@poetpiet I was thinking to put a 60X60 cm VAWT on the back and the front of a bicycle.

Make a nice cage to cover it so that it doesn't chop up the pedestrians.

looks like Jesus on palm Sunday!

looks like the reverse of sailboarding (where you hang off the sail)

this video is awesome. i want to try and build a skate sail like that, cause it looks really, really fun from the video.

Not bad at all!

You go faster than we do. We use hockey skates and like to execute quick jibes, but the skates develop instability about yaw axis at high speeds.

Yes, i understand the istability problem. My skates have about 17 inches (440 mm) strate edge and i belive a hockeyskate only have 3-5 inches (80-120mm). To get a stable foot and leg we use slalomboots on the skates. But we also have larger sails i belive. We normaly use 94,7 square feet (8,8 square meters) sails.

Ja man blir sugen men isen har ännu inte lagt sig här i Skåne där jag seglar nu. Bilderna är gammla, från omkring -94. Hoppas kunna ta lite nya i år.
