  • Open Air Bike Guide Bus Concept Is A Solar Powered Tourists Dream
    This clever <a href="http://vimeo.com/25752549">Bike Guide Concept</a> is a bus powered by <a href="http://inhabitat.com/?cat=48">solar panels</a> that features integrated bicycles that detach when the bus stops at landmarks around town. Tourists are given the freedom to zip away from the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/?cat=76">central vehicle</a> on their personal wheels and tour the spot. After a quick ride, everyone returns to the central meeting place, hooks their bikes back up and they move on to the next point of interest.

    If the <a href="http://vimeo.com/25752549">Bike Guide Concept</a> comes to fruition you might just see the Inhabitat team climb onto a tour bus en masse. <a href="http://vimeo.com/25752549">The concept was designed</a> by Kukil Han, Daehyun Kim, Bojoong Kim, and Jihwan Yun as a new way to experience the city.

    The concept would offer a nice respite from those double decker monstrosities touring <a href="http://inhabitat.com/?cat=22">our favorite cities</a>.

    The Bike Guide Concept bus invites tourists to check in at kiosks around town, which tell them how long before an open seat will come their way.

    Before the bus drops you off, the built-in LED screens regale you with stories and information about your next location.

    When the tour comes to a full and complete stop, the mechanisms that lock your bike-seat in place release, allowing all passengers to ride around the location freely.

    While you are riding, another small LED screen built into the handle bars gives you tid-bits of information along the way. Someone please make this <a href="http://inhabitat.com/transportation/">transportation concept</a> a reality - it would make touring a city or countryside much more enjoyable and green!
