ltdiver 3 #1 September 12, 2007 Visiting my sister up here in Napa Valley and she takes me outside to see one of their new estate sale finds! A Paratrooper Bicycle. This things folds up, the foot pedals push in, and it can be attached to you for jumping with! Here is a web page she used to research it. http://bcoy1cpb.pacdat.net/bsa_airborne_bicycles_(aka_parabike).htm And the bicycle itself which will go up on ebay sometime in October! What a piece of history I didn't know about. Can you imagine? Jumping...With a metal (fold-up) bike...With a round parachute? Ouchie!

LouDiamond 1 #2 September 12, 2007 Yeppers. That looks to be an older one but I know at least one foreign army were still jumping them as of a few years ago as they had a newer mountain bike looking model that folded up."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
