Wow. The video was cute but I wish it convinced me that the product would make a bike sounds like a horse. The music was mixed too high to hear it. edit: There's another video on the page that does this, but it's tucked away at the bottom behind a button!

Did you manage to find one audio clip that actually made the sound they are selling?

Agreed. The prototype video got me far more excited about the product than the meme filled promo. It should be featured more prominently.

They "hide" the sound of it in "I want to hear it working!" link at the bottom:

Any chance of making the DXF file available for cheap to people with access to their own CNC machines?

Unfortunately, while I am both a geek and a horse-person, I'm not much of a biker. The target audience is small, but hopefully with only 1000 takers needed, you'll meet your goal.

Great idea! We've defaulted that to be visible on the page. Thanks!

If I see someone riding a bike with one of these things attached to it, I'll call the police. I find it unacceptable for people to make lots of noise for no good reason.

Try doing this at night in a residential neighborhood, you'll find out soon enough what people think of this 'invention'.
