The Hydrocycle is a watercraft that combines a boat with a bicycle. The power is provided by the rider and is as easy as riding a bike. However, the pedaling does not rotate a wheel, instead in rotates a 12” propeller that powers the Hydrocycle forward.
This Hydrocycle allows two riders to pedal at the same time and is suitable for rivers, lakes, and oceans, anywhere with no more than 3’ of swells. Constant cycling can produce a speed up to 6mph which is as fast as canoeing or kayaking, however because you are using your legs instead of your arms you do no tire as easily.
Buoyancy is provided by three polyethylene pontoons that ensure stability and speed is maintained during a ride. Just like a bicycle, handlebars are provided that steer the hydrocycle in whichever direction you want due to being linked to a rudder.
Comfortability is guaranteed with an adjustable seat and the hydrocycle also provides a storage container at the front of the hydrocycle to store a refreshing drink should you need it. One final bonus, the whole unit can be assembled and disassembled easily without the need for tools. This unit does not come with the life jackets shown in the picture, so make sure you wear one when you use it.
The Hydrocycle is made of high quality materials designed to be long lasting, easily cleaned, and transported. Perhaps a bit on the expensive side at $3,600 for the tandem version, there is also a single rider version for $1900.

Even with the installation of the flashing red LEDs on the front and back of the bicycle, accidents involving cyclists still occur. This is because the red LEDs are usually not bright enough and only illuminate when you are cycling. Besides that, these lights and reflectors are typically located below the eye level for other motorists causing the cyclists to be less visible at night.
For those who own a bicycle and often ride it to the office, your friends house, etc, a bicycle helmet is necessary for protection on the road. However, regular helmets are not as safe as they can be when riding at night.
Now with the Angel Bicycle Helmet, cyclists can rest assure that the risk of getting involved in a road accident has been reduced. The Angel Bicycle Helmet has 2x5W LEDs that light up a strip of fibre optics which encompass the entire circumference of the helmet. This feature provides cyclists with 360 degrees of high visibility. From a distance, the cyclist wearing the bike helmet will look like he has a halo around his head, hence the name “Angel bicycle helmet“.
An additional benefit of the Angel Bicycle Helmet is that it’s waterproof. You don’t need to worry about the LEDs short circuiting when you’re cycling under a light drizzle of rain. The bike helmet also includes a built-in USB charging port which is protected under a rubber gasket for easy recharging when needed. Another special feature of the Angel Bike Helmet is that it can be switched to a flashing mode. This will definitely catch the attention of other drivers on the road. This is a definite life saving cycling gadget and could make the difference between a driver seeing you and a tragic accident.

This is the time for new human car that does not need any gas to run in full speed. It is just like rowing on the road in full speed but you need not worry because it has battery backup too. Overall the performance is extremely good and it can run in a crazy rate of 60miles per hour. This is really incredible for such a car that needs no fuel. People have seen human powered cars in programs like Flintstones but this is the first time they are going to experience something absolutely real. You need not worry about the technology because this is not exactly a Flintstone car and you need not brake with your legs here. The technology is similar with bike riding but the look is just like a car.
This is a light weight vehicle and it will come to the market in sometime next year. Already hundreds of people have booked it in advanced. The GPS technology along with the touchscreen will surely make it one of the craziest gizmos of this decade. May be in a few hours the roads will be full with human power cars. You never know because in this world anything can happen.
