26 Pedal-Powered Innovations

From Submarines to Bars

— April 26, 2010 — Autos
Stretch out those legs before you check out these pedal-powered innovations. Pedals have finally been liberated from their bicycle oppressors and are helping to power everything and anything you could every think of. Freedom is a beautiful thing.

The craziest thing with pedals that you can think of can probably be found in these pedal-powered innovations. If you can dream it, we can pedal it.

Implications - With that being said, there is no better time to go full speed ahead with pedal-powered innovations than now! Gone are the days where pedals were restricted to dinky tricycles and two-wheeled bicycles, certainly not as far as these submarines and bars are concerned. I challenge you to peddle your way into the future with badass peddle innovations like these!
