Shweeb!

Forget Boris Bikes, I want to pedal to work in one of these!

The Shweeb is an environmentally friendly, cost efficient merge of the monorail and cycling. Imagine cycling to work in a glass pod high above the traffic jams and dirty streets. And its even inbuilt with a little booster if you're tackling a slight uphill climb. Who wants to ride a boring bike, dodging cars and iPod-ed pedestrians when your alternative is lying back and casually pedalling through the sky?

Chosen by Google Inc as part of Project 10^100 for 'Drive Innovation in Public Transportation', Shweeb has gone on to get $1million from Google to help bring this project to life. And even it if doesnt, I want to go to New Zealand just to have a go!
