    rij - Looks to me like the cyclist has to be wearing ice skates in order to use it!

    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?

    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.
