斯泰勒称，由于骑这种车需要齐心协力，所以异性朋友们骑着它外出兜风时，甚至可能会彼此产生感情，坠入爱河。斯泰勒说：“这是一个将人们团结到一起的革命性方法，人们需要这种自行车，我认为好朋友们应该走出他们的汽车，离开他们的沙发，一起骑着这种自行车外出郊游！即使陌生人骑上这种车，不要几分钟也能成为朋友，异性朋友甚至能在骑车时坠入爱河，此外，你只需靠自己的能量———可重复更新的能量就能让它运转起来！” : F/ S8 b8 u: K

And you move along on your own energy - renewable energy," the Daily Mail quoted Staller as saying. 3 G8 o! Q$ o. q6 q 8 A! l; B% a& G: n' Y' T6 k/ O[ 本帖最后由 日月光 于 2007-4-7 15:29 编辑 ]
