They don't discuss specific speeds, but this is from the last paragraph:

This jigger, according to the manufacturers, makes you handily quicker than an equivalent swimmer with fins on.

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.

What's "handily quicker"?

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.

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.
