Honda's robo-legs are the walker of the future
It gets harder to get around when you get old, which is why things like walkers and mart carts exist. But Honda wants to make getting around easier with some fancy new technology, which is why it's introduced some new robo-leg walkers.
While it looks kind of goofy (not to mention uncomfortable on the groin region), it should make people a lot more mobile than something like a walker. It basically assists with the normal walking process rather than just rolling you around or giving you something to lean on, and it's as "easy to use as a bicycle." We'll see about that, but it shouldn't be too long before we see the aisles of Wal-Mart full of people shuffling around on robo legs. The future!

Yeah, what's it matter if it's uncomfortable in the groin region.. It's not like you're gonna be using that region anyways once you're old enough to need the assistance of this product, that is unless you're Bob Dole. I joke of course!

specially for girls, all you would need is to stick a dildo in there.

If you would like to walk or run again a little easier and with a lot of fun, look up GlideCycle.com. http://dvice.com/archives/2009/03/glidecycle_lets.php
They have a great solution for regaining lost mobility.I have run over 1800 miles on my GlideCycle...and my doctor told me never to run again because of my bad knees. I have lost 35 pounds and feel more fit than I have in years of going to the gym and sometimes swimming. The reason is that glidecycling is a super low impact running like motion that is just plain fun. Because it is fun I can run 10, 20, or more miles anytime I am out. I don't care who you are....that will make you strong, fit and healthy!!!!
on your cellphone!
