As seen on TV and in the national press...
This amphibious cycle was designed and built by seven engineering students at the University of Southampton, England in 2008. It is powered on water by a paddle wheel.

wouldn't a much smaller underwater propeller be much more efficient? Cool project though

lame I could get drunker than I am now now and make something for 1/10 the price and in half the time that would smoke that in a time trial and I'm a better rider and I'm 5 10 245, from the fastest fat man

good~~~

maybe the paddle needs to be more substantial, it looks like just a bar. Also maybe they should be more submerged
-
i think the steering isn´t the most ideal solution....

It would be nice to take this across some real stretches of water like the English Channel or possibly around the world. I would volunteer to test ride it for such a challenge. :) It's been my dream to bike around the world and the only obstacle there is is the sea! Any chance of having something similar available commercially?

looks pretty heavy hard to pedle but other then that looks pretty sweet

I'm guessing it doesn't go up the ramp real well, since if you go forward the floats are lifting the rear wheel and if you go backward the paddles provide insufficient propulsion. And with the ramp covered with slimy algae... I'll bet they had to drag it out with a rope.

Although not shown in this video, we were able to cycle out of the water and back onto dry land up a 1-in-5 incline. You can see this in our other video.
