LOL!
IMHO, the "Schweeb" lacks the versatility to become a successful alternative in the urban mass transit market. But I gotta admit, Geoffery Barnett deserves an A++ for creativity and imagination!!!

HMMm an enclosed glass tube in the middle of summer in Alabama. Only if you want to see how many people can be cooked to death in the shortest period possible.

Doesn’t look like there is any way to pass each other. Everyone wanting to go faster than you will be called a Schweebiac, and everyone holding you up will be called a Schweebiot.

I can’t schweeb 55!
My schweeb cycle does 185. I lost my schweeb license now I must drive.
Not sure if it works for rock and roll.

Great picture -- if you are a young, thin person wearing exercise clothing, this looks like a great way to commute!
And, for the rest of us, there are cars.

how would a family use this? will there be multi person alternatives? One heart attack or injury would stop the whole thing.
Lots of issues to work out, but it is kinda neat for a resort etc.
