    "If you have a thirst for adventure, but are without the storage space or bank balance large enough for a helicopter, then the Paravelo is for you," said Read. "It works by combining the traditional folding bicycle with a lightweight trailer carrying a powerful fan." The parts can be used together as they are in the video above or separately and Read said the entire assembly is small and light enough to carry into an office or flat and taken on public transport. It can take off from any open space, he said, reaches 4,000ft altitude and travels at 15mph on land and 25mph in the air.

    WOOT!

    Just wanted to say how tickled I am by both of these! Thanks!

    (And I love the thought of escaping from Mr Road Tax Psycho by simply pressing a button on the bike and levitating away from him and his death threats.)
