The Flight Phenomenon

The Flight Phenomenon

Rowen Smith, Journalist

You’ve probably heard the saying “when pigs fly” at some point in your life, but have you ever stopped to think about whether or not this could ever happen? Straying from the topic of pigs, a new and unfamiliar idea of flying bikes has been developed. If you wanted to, for any reason at all, you could purchase a flying bike right now. British inventors John Foden and Yannick Read have developed the first ever flying bicycle, made up of a folding bicycle and a lightweight trailer that holds a fan motor. With momentum, the motor will turn the fan and the bike can reach up to 25 miles per hour in the air! There are not many flying bicycles, named XploreAir Paravelos, available yet, but once more funding rolls in, the inventors are hoping for heaps of sales. Could you imagine watching the sun set for the night as you pedal away in the air? It’s always fun to try new things!

May Update: This is a fact!
