Of Water and Uncanny Common Sense

Now, this is something that everyone should have a look at. It might look like something that you made mum and dad throw out of the house the moment you turned eight in favour for a REAL bicycle that would make you look like one of the big kids instead of mumsie's little boy that you actually were(and that we all still are to some extent), but the IDEO aquaduct seems fully capable of bringing salvation to those who need freshwater the most.

With the help of a peristaltic pump that is ingeniously connected to the pedals, the bike( with the help of a pedalling rider of course), draws water from a storage tank and pumps it through a filtration system. Newly cleansed water is further propelled forward and into the tank down the front! The filtration system and bigger storage tank obviously, account for the shapely behind of the tricycle. Now, find me a derriere that looks as inviting while being able to save entire populations from malnourishment and poor sanitation at the same time. http://www.ideo.com/
