Dammit, the outdoors isn't air conditioned! You can't expect people to bike out there?!
Yeah this has been posted before, but it's still just as absurd as ever...

I still laugh, every time I see that.
I wonder if the "cool" crowd always gets the bikes at the very back.

That's be a lot more impressive if the bikes drove the bus. Just think of all the wasted energy at gyms all over North America. All those stairmasters and treadmills should be feeding power back into the grid.
"Hybrid" exercise equipment, anyone?

Thats a mobile spin class. I think that would be majorly fun because of the scenery changes and whatnot but still.... its rediculously pointless, time/energy consuming and odd. Lol!

This is the first time that I saw that, and I was hoping to learn that the bus was a gas-electric hybrid and the bikes were feeding the battery. I should have known better.
