It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Super cool, bu are they faster/more efficent than a good pair of diving fins?
They don't discuss specific speeds, but this is from the last paragraph:
What's "handily quicker"? A lot quicker? A good phrase for selling a novelty product?
I have to wonder how the Seabike, as shown exclusively in a swimming pool rather than any of the many seas on the planet, actually performs.
About 30 long bananes per hour.
Yo this device gives handies! Quick!
Yknow, I don't think anyone's ever made a bike powered version of those insane £200 electronic masturbators there are memes about these days... Eco wank anyone?
I'm very skeptical about that. It's an expensive augmented swimming device that says it's faster than fins but doesn't prove it with stats or even just a side-by-side video...?
Yeah. I'm just gonna say it's not quicker, and certainly not more efficient.
Why would I want this as opposed to an electric one that I hold in my hands, that can zoop me across the ocean without consuming extra oxygen from physical exertion?
