English Duo develops flying bike
The British John Foden and Yannick Read are known for their unusual design of bicycles, but this time beat all expectations with the Paravelo, a model which allows the two-wheeled vehicle to fly.According to The Guardian, the Parevelo uses a fan to rise to 1,200 meters above sea level, an exercise that, surely, will not be for all urban cyclists, though, if we pull a little by the imagination, we can see this bike as an ally in the fight against urban traffic."If we have a thirst for adventure but there is no space or enough money for a helicopter, so the Parevelo is the solution," joked the Royal Guardian. "She combines the traditional folding bicycle with a small trailer, with a powerful fan".The two parts can be used together or separated, being the bike small enough to stay in an apartment or even get to our workplace."The Wright brothers were former bicycle mechanics, so there's a real relationship between pedal and the birth of flight. That's what was recaptured in the spirit of Parevelo ", explained John Foden, who co-desenhou the bike.The bike cannot be used in most cities, however. On the other hand, is not anyone who can handle, so the sales will never be very representative. For those interested, here are some numbers: the project will be marketed so Read and Foden joining of € 60 million ($ 177 million). Each prototype will cost € 12, 000 ($ 35,000).
