The bubble wrap bike will make all other bikes seem boring in comparison.
This bike was invented by Eric Buss and is truly one-of-a-kind. It comes with bubble wrap attached to the front, and as you ride the bike the bubble wrap unravels and the wheels pop the bubbles. This fun invention invokes feelings of nostalgia as popping bubble wrap was an entertaining activity for kids growing up.
Kids today can enjoy this bike, as they've probably picked up the habit of popping bubble wrap too. In terms of safety, younger children or people first learning to ride a bike may have a harder time with this bike, as popping the bubbles wouldn't make for a smooth ride.
The bubble wrap bike can either be seen as a way to annoy the neighbors, or a great way to get kids and adults enjoying the outdoors and getting active.
