Rocketshields: the Solution for Cool-Looking Bikes

Editor

As if putting a roof on a scooter wasn’t silly enough, Rocketshields now has a solution which makes even the sexist bikes look ridiculous. Sure, it might actually protect riders from some rain. But if the hoots of derision it generated from the bikers at CarDomain headquarters—who live in Seattle and have to ride in the wet all the time—are any indication, this product will go nowhere. via Gizmodo

Now that I own a motorcycle I know this would do nothing for the rider except act as a parachute. Wear rain gear if you dont want to get wet, or better yet drive your car instead.

Seriously, I tried to find a pic of this thing on a bike with
a rider, and failed.

Anyone seen what it looks like with a rider?
