Pumpabike ? I WANT one !
http://www.gizmag.com/go/4038/
http://www.pumpabike.com/Site1/ video here http://video.google.ca/videosearch?h...8&sa=N&tab=wv# May 16, 2005 To look at the Pump-a-bike, you’d swear it would sink the moment it hit the water. Not so, indeed, with a bit of practice, the human powered hydrofoil is capable of nearly 20 miles per hour – not that much shy of the world record for human powered watercraft . To make it work, all you need to do is jump up and down. Given some time to coordinate the movements and gain a degree of mastery, the Pump-a-bike can even be used in surf to ride waves.

I'm torn between a sense of awe at the design, or just giggling like an idiot because it looks like he's doing some VERY inappropriate out there on the water!!!!

Interesting. But not as interesting as the song! Who knew there were 9 million bicycles in Beijing?
