At times we often live very close to our work place, at least I do. However, I am too lazy to purchase a bike and bike to work, so I continue to sit in my car and drive 8 minutes down the road. I’ve thought about gettin a vespa, but that’s a couple grand. I thought about getting a bike, still I have to pedal. Thanks to the people at MIT, they have developed the “Greenwheel.” You can attach the greenwheel to your wheels and it will convert the bicycle into an electric powerhouse. Okay not quiet, but you still don’t have to pedal anymore unless you want to. Pedalling will allow you go get twice the speed with the greenwheel. Something I should look into? I wish, but there is no price set for the item just yet.
