With the current run of appalling weather, sodden tracks and cabin fever getting too much I have been wondering what I can do to get out there and escape from it.

This looked like a great way of being able to ride regardless of how damp the trails may get:

akwakat-waterbike-1a

It is convertible from a "Dry" MTB to a "Wet" MTB with minimal effort, not quite sure what the NPWS rangers would make of it on the Perimiter Trail?

Unsurprisingly it has come from the Kiwi's who know a thing or two about constant rain.

... fork - do you reckon he's got enough travel? Sydney trails being what they are, 'n all.

And what's with the bare head? Doesn't he know about Mandatory Helmet Laws? Sheesh! Evil

In regards to mandatory helmet laws - waterways are not classified by the RTA as public roads so the laws don't apply. Sticking out tongue
Thats why he's wearing a life vest.
If he manages to get that thing over 10Knots then he'd need a boat license!
