The Not-So-Modern guys are actually the most up to date on things, so that makes sense.

I for one would like a little more information on these flying bubbles. What are they? When were they sold? Etc. etc.

Clearly this is what the Mission hipsters are riding now that fixies are so 'basic.'

Someone shared that with me on FB and I tried finding out what they were. Even with Google's reverse image search I came up empty. Lots of bubble cars out there, but I didn't see those.

For the record, I'd ride the snot out of one of those. Especially if it came with the space suit.

I don't think you can find these things because they were made up by a fancy artificial intelligence machine, along with the "Golden Gate Bridge" that takes a hard right off-screen and then dumps you in the bay.

I think that these are older than they look. Clearly they are crossing the Golden Gate Bridge before the second tower was completed.

The vantage point isn't quite as impossible as you'd imagine. Shortly after going through the gates on the SF side, there is a sharp turn.

I think the photo is still quite suspicious, though.
