Re: So I'm giving up biking....
Do you need a licence for that?

Re: So I'm giving up biking....
Dunno about the UK, but over here you do (Canada, not in the USA, no licence there) training is about 2000 quid over 7-10 days.

Re: So I'm giving up biking....
So that does look pretty cool. Can easily see the appeal ... but here's an idea .... why not do both?!

Training?
What training? That looks more like something you could do by instinct.

Re: So I'm giving up biking....
I think you do need a licence in the UK (They fly very close the RAF in the lakes).
B what's it with you and danger sport?

Re: So I'm giving up biking....
This always seemed a bit odd to me, a parachute with a lawn mower attached to your back. Couldn't it be done by pedal power to make it more peaceful? pedal powered flight alone isn't really feasible but this might work.

The training is probably a good idea though as from what I read it's as skill in the ground handling of the wing than the actual flying. It looks absolutely ace fun though.

There's one road where we are... and a whole lot of p**sed up Indians! Not a good combo! However, a Trials bike may be on the list!
