A Student Pedal-Powered School Bus

They are not exactly walking, but the concept of working together to use their own energy to get themselves to school is a great idea! (Weather permitting of course). It helps with fitness levels in kids, since obesity is becoming a global phenomenon these days, better for the environment as opposed to fuel-powered vehicles etc.

The vehicle is made by De Cafe Racer in the Netherlands, but is unfortunately only available for a day hire at the moment, for fun, rather than for commuting purposes.
