rij - Looks to me like the cyclist has to be wearing ice skates in order to use it! :eek:
I think Duck on Wheels and UKElephant have used it.
There were pics and an explanation of how it works somewhere... I think DoW posted it?
Off to search...
I think they're putting their foot on a little pedal on the conveyor, and it pushes them up hill. It's very cool.

http://www.trampe.no/english/userinstructions.php and http://www.trampe.no/english/videos.php show how it works. Basically you stand on a little platform and it carries you up.
