Pneumatic bicycles

Velocity_webHere's another idea to put cyclists in tubes filled with air and push them around. Do people really think this idea, or any of the others like it, are going to be funded? We can't even get funding to build a bridge over Viers Mill Road.

The Rock Creek Trail bridge over Veirs Mill Road will be delayed 3 years, and likely
killed.

At least the picture is cool. I'm starting to think ideas like this work against the interests of cyclists, since they make us seem crazy. As if the bike shorts weren't enough.
