"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.4 m4 Y4 I8 K9 u  J+ b. A% j! v
