If we don’t ask too much about production methods, bicycles are the cleanest vehicles on the planet. Powered solely by human energy, they keep cities’ air clean, occupy less space and are the moment cheapest method of transportation. Walking is even cheaper, but that might change depending on your shoes.
Specialized, a bike manufacturer, and Google have teamed up to create the Innovate or die contest. What’s that about? Easy: Create the most amazing pedal-powered machine you (or you and up to four of your friends) can create, film it, upload it into YouTube and whether you’re the winner, you’ll get $5,000US. Finalists will get Specialized bikes and 200 contestants will get t-shirts.
So how’s your imagination? Good? Submit your ideas before December 15th. Some are already working on it.
