Dr. Evil's Transit Pod

A new verb may find its way into the dictionary: schweebing.

And... it isn't another social networking site!

Probably the best thing about the Shweeb is that you power it yourself, despite it running on a track. It might be hard for groceries, but maybe they'll come out with a hatchback version soon. It's brought to you by the Kiwis, which shouldn't be surprising if you know about Zorbing.

The creators are marketing it as the future of public transportation. I'm not sure how collisions are avoided, but the idea is to put these pods on a set of interconnected monorails.

And zero carbon emissions! Just the emissions from the food you ate to fuel your pedalling.
