Pedal-powered Bicycle of Death theme park

Patrons of a restaurant in Italy called Ai Pioppi can forgo antipasto in favour of free entry to a giant, human-powered, theme park built by the owner. Rides include the Bicycle of Death.

The incredible rides include a pedal-powered roller coaster and the Bicycle of Death, a safer - if more exhausting take on the Wall of Death carnival attraction.

Pedal-powered bus

What better way to get to Ai Pioppa pedal-powered theme park than a bicycle bus?

The 11-seat bus travels at a speed of about 10 mph and has an electric motor to help with hills.

Other accessories designed to make the trip to school civilised as well as healthy and fun include a canvas roof and stereo.

Designer and builder of the bicycles, Thomas Tolkamp, told website Co.Exist that the pedal-powered bus had originally been commissioned by a child care organisation, but that the design had generated enough interest for him to build a further 23.
