"People need this bike. I think people are ready to get out of their cars and off their sofas and get silly. It lowers inhibitions and after a few minutes even complete strangers begin talking to each other. People have even fallen in love on these bikes. And you move along on your own energy - renewable energy," the Daily Mail quoted Staller as saying. 7 K! ?6 ?( T4 F& a2 n' O 2 D: A" o9 Q5 K$ w[ 本帖最后由 日月光 于 2007-4-7 15:29 编辑 ]
