Aircon on a bike...I don't even...

...but it's available, apparently...

The maker's EntroSys site.

I can see a market in the USA and Australia, where let's face it, it's warmer/sunnier than here.

One of the strangest accessories I've seen for a bike

Apology if a repost, didn't find when I had a quick look.

Gibbs, what did Duckie look like when he was younger?

Is that a hoover on reverse?

I have been semi-seriously planning to fit a watercooling system with peltier elements and/or ice packs to my jacket and trousers for a while.

[tbourner]

Seems like a good idea to me.

I think this marks the point where you might as well just get a car...

You'd have to admit there are times you would use it.

[Robster]

They also do bike ash trays, cupholders and air fresheners

[GeorgeB.]

Or just ride fast enough to get the same effect

Literally, the only use I could see for this is if you're planning to sit in traffic, and you might as well get a car then anyway.

Bet that rapes the battery. Doesn't use refrigerant so I'm assuming it uses the same technology that those small portable fridges use. Forgot what its called but they take hours to get cold

Wouldn't a well designed, well vented jacket work just as well, presuming you're not sat in traffic for long periods? Also, it'd be far better if it worked with your trousers too, as I find my legs tend to get far sweatier than my torso and arms.

One other thing. If you have an off, is it likely to keep you and your bike attached, therefore creating more chance of injury?

[Itchy]

If anybody remembers back to the 1960s they had retrofittable air conditioners on cars. They were a long tube which sprayed a mist over several layers of thin mesh like tights. The water absorbed some of the heat which entered the car and cooled it down.

It had a battery operated fan on the front incase you were not moving.

This is a picture of one, add in a radiator fan or two so it works when you aren't moving and you could probably fit one on the opposite side of your exhaust so it looks like a 2nd exhaust.

TANSTAAFL though, and it would create drag and eat your MPG.

Not surprised this thing's from the USA. Poor buggers there aren't allowed to filter and have to sit in traffic like everyone else Except California

Would it not just be easier in using what underwater welders have to keep them warm and just changing from hot water to cold water?.

[EazyDuz]

Very simple solution.
Wear shorts, a vest and sandles.
