Can you just imagine having a bike that, when you pedaled it, feet moved? That would be so cool.I'm sure there are better uses than this, but I like imagining a feetbike.

Life is difficult to describe, even for those who study life.I think What is life? is not important here. Pure thought and extraordinary inspiration is the beauty and wonder of Theo Jansen.

I'm seriously concerned about anyone that wouldn't simply view this with wide-eyed amazement. Imagine if they could replicate via a trip to the hardware store!! How cool.
