Spare a thought for the hard-pressed Germans:
Pressured to purchase lowly bicycles as an alternative of automobiles:
Oh, the humanity!
In the meantime within the Netherlands they’ve perfected biking for people so now they’re shifting on to canine:
“If a canine might design a motorbike seat, that is what it might seem like,” claims the narrator:

[It just clamps onto the handlebars if you’re wondering.]
Canines prioritize meals, consolation, and waging everlasting warfare in opposition to their sworn enemy the cat, in that order. Sadly this product by no means made it into manufacturing, although it did get the canine a job as an engineer at Lockheed Martin.
As for america, a.okay.a. Canada’s furry canine mattress, not like these hard-pressed Germans we soft-middled Individuals all the time discover cash within the couch cushions to spend on automobiles:
And in contrast to the Dutch we’re probably not comfy biking with our pets as a result of we’re too preoccupied with helmets–for them:

Both we’re attempting to get our bikes to cross by means of it as easily as potential, or else we’re fretting over how a lot of it we now have in our tires. So we trip round on whale fin wheels with self-inflation methods:
The system is known as the GRAVAA:
And I’m positive I’m not the one one who thinks it’s about time somebody invented a pair of wheels you must cost:
Between this and your energy meter and your electrical drivetrain and your electrical dropper publish you’ll want to hold a listing of all of the batteries and charging ports in your bike as a result of there’s no approach you’ll bear in mind all of them. It’s like attempting to recollect the place you set all of the roach baits in your kitchen.
If we might work out a option to channel the air circulation across the rim straight into the valve then we’d actually be onto one thing.
