  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!”  rs238848.rs.hosteurope.de, ~4 t0 y# @: w2 w6 q: n

"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.
