We used to think that those giant unicycles were the wackiest cycles around, but nowadays they have a whole pack of contenders. And since any kind of human-powered ^[6] transportation is as renewable as it comes, we thought we would celebrate all of our favorite human-powered innovations by sharing five awesomely weird bike-like ^[7] vehicles that have us wanting to get out there and put the pedal to the metal. Check out our gallery to see them all!

From the crazy ElliptiGO 3C bike ^[8] that takes you on a mobile elliptical workout to the Sofa Bike ^[9], which is exactly what it sounds like, we hope you enjoyed these crazy vehicles as much as we enjoyed putting this together for you.

Would you buy any of these concepts? What is your idea of the ideal human-powered vehicle? Let us know in comments.
