My Gran recently purchased a motorised wheelchair and she has exactly the same problem. I showed her this and her eyes nearly fell out (one's glass) she asked me to ask if you do one in a silvery blue to match her hair?

[Corke Wallis]

Dear MrBadgerbingo,

We don't currently plan to manufacture a WheelchairButterfly (TM), but your moving tale of family devotion has made the likelihood of production a little greater.

Is your Gran a responsible driver? The BikeButtterfly team have had some sleepless nights worrying about the potential damage that could result from misuse of the product.

Yours,

BikeButterfly team

you should totally make a peacock tail version of this..

[Corke Wallis]

sounds like you've got a copy of our business plan.

[Luke Mayhew]

Are there any plans to release a model with flashing LEDs for use at night time? I'm concerned I may not be quite as visible without them.

[Corke Wallis]

That's a good idea, but we're leaning more towards hi-viz and/or luminous material for reasons of simplicity and weight.

[Kath Youell]

I let my daughter wear her butterfly wings as she sits in our bakfiets, but I don't think it does the same job as yours. I definitely want this.

[sw19cam]

Can I put in an order today? :)

[mechainsanity]

aww man, i wish this was real. i'll have to use my butterfly kite instead. ;_;

[MrMarafi]

Now i would not mind having one of these! Show it on Dragons den, or however you can sell them and i will certainly be purchasing one!

[Cyberwwwizard]

So how long does it take to pack it all back up ready for another gormless moron walking across a busy street whilst looking at his shit phone?

[mtmassociate]

Hmmmm.....

[danceswithcarsdc]

Seems like a hawk or dove would be more noticeable, depending upon mood, as butterflies typically get squashed

[John Cusick]

so u release the wings AFTER you hit someone? so people still dont see you. IF this was real it would be dumb. but anyhoo ok viral for Brompton.

[blackjacki2]

99% sure this is a joke but I can't be 100% because this is the internet after all

[John Cusick]

its not real, its a viral for brompton bikes
