Pedal powered zeppelin
Oh, I so want one of these.
You have no idea.
Personal blimping has always been so cool, but a pedal powered personal zep would be the bomb.

That’s fabulous. Think they come in different colors? Plaid, maybe?

I recall as a kid seeing an episode of Zoom (I think) where they gave instructions on how to construct a personal sized _paper_ hot-air balloon.
There are several parts of that memory that seem made-up.
But what always amuses me about these things is that invariably they are flying over water. Is this to cushion the fall? Smooth the flight? Inspire the pilot to peddle harder? Or just coincidence?
