Still waiting for the day when humans navigate cities by being sucked through pneumatic tubes. But in the meantime, New Zealand’s bicycle-monorail mash-up, known as the Shweeb, might be the next best thing.

The Shweeb is a human-powered transit system that employs a recumbent cycle to move a clear passenger tube along a rail. Currently, the only operating Shweeb is located Agroventures Adventure Park in Rotura, New Zealand, where for $45, you and your friends can engage in Shweeb racing. But the inventors believe the Shweeb has possibilities beyond being an amusement park ride, and that it might just revolutionize your daily commute.
