I think a lot of people are missing the point... it's not about how fast etc. some people who would not necessarily ride a bike due to fitness/laziness etc etc are going to be encouraged to do so by this kind of device. This in turn alleviates congestion and pollution due to cars. I think the idea is brilliant. I wish more countires adopted such wonderful ideas !!!

yeah fatties should pay more.. unles sthey have medical grounds and proof stating that they cannot help being grossly overweight, they should stump up extra funds, being stuck next to a mouth breathing sweating lump for 12 hours (feeling guilty about needing to get past you use the bathroom)is vile and why should others have to suffer because someone cannot be bothered to take care of themselves. Airline seats are, in general, adequate... tall people I feel for but fat people, in general, get that way of their own accord.. you get 20Kg's luggage, and you get charged for more, if you weight 75KG and the lump next to you weights 115KG, who pays for the extra 40KG there (equivalent to 2 EXTRA cases) ???
