I posted a flying car thread, and a flying boat thread, so I figured I should do this too.

I'd definitely consider getting one of these if the price was right (which I'm sure it won't be).

Dubai has been using this one apparently for a few years now. Granted, it's basically a large rideable drone. But roughly 62 miles per hour, at an altitude of roughly 33 feet, it could be fun.

I'm surprised it's possible to keep a bicycle stable at that speed.

I'm even more surprised that someone was willing to find out if it was stable at that speed.
