Transportation of the Future? The suspension bike There is floating and magnetic trains. So why not bicycles. This thought is also the inventor from New Zealand, called
Shweeb , thought and invented a Tretschwebefahrrad.
Shweeb is a bicycle cable car in which every passenger has his own cabin, where it can connect the pedals. In the position of a recumbent cyclist is seated in a Plexiglas cylinder. The good aerodynamics allows much higher speeds than the conventional bicycle, 30 km / h over greater distances, for less trained people rarely a problem.
In an amusement park in Rotorua (New Zealand) is already a 600 meter track, where you can go through two parallel tracks also in competition. The track record is only 55 seconds. Google already invested a million dollars in this company.
