At M.I.T, the senseable city laboratory has created a wheel that captures the kinetic energy released when a rider brakes and saves it for when the rider needs a boost. While technically sound, the wheel's true challenge may be in winning over cyclists. For centuries now, bikes have all been beloved for their simplicity, not their bells and whistles.
Bicyclists need a boost and this idea works perfectly. This author relates to the topic very well and if this works out then hopefully everyone will use a bike as transporation and limit the usage of cars.
