I'm tempted to say only in Palo Alto could something like the BusCycle
exist, but maybe there is another one out there. If ever you wanted a
lesson on what you really get from a tank of gas, the BusCycle can do it.
It's a reformed truck or large van with seating, pedals, and gear shifts
for sixteen pedalers and a driver. The power to move the thing forward
comes ONLY from the pedalers. It won't move unless at least six of us
are strong cyclists. See what a ride on the BusCycle looks like by visiting:

Looking back on the experience now, I'd say it felt a bit like a
barnraising, in that it's a shared experince to pedal with other people.
