Health and Safety Guidelines



Research and Development

Early Prototype in action







All is proceeding well, preliminary flights are progressing extremely well. The fungus is spreading but is not a cause for concern.


Much is happening at our secret research location. Interstellar bicycle travel is a definite possibility, although Hintsches still keeps receiving unexpected electric shocks and alien fungus like life-forms keep appearing.
All will be revealed sometime in late August somewhere in a field in England.



This morning these sacred artifacts appeared. We believe they are gifts from extra terrestrial life forms to help us with navigation through worm holes.
