Am I reading that right? They're charging almost $300 for a couple hunks of plexiglass?

I thought the point of buying a finished product was to make it look less... homemade?

I wonder about all the positive press that company gets.  Their coverage is downright effusive for something that looks like it was cobbled together by a bunch of drunk teenagers after an all-night bender.  What am I missing???

LOL not missing anything at all.  Pure hipster lifestyle bait.  It may come with a record player.

But the audio quality is so much better.

May I suggest simply using an old record as windshield instead!

When you have a bike this ugly you need to keep the theme.

I did test ride the Cake Cock or whatever it's called and it rode pretty nice off road at Hollister. It had a bicycle handbrake setup which I didn't like and also the price was way too far from 0.
