Bicycle merry-go-round for getting nowhere fast

Here's a bicycle for group rides in extremely cramped spaces. It's called the Circular Bike, and it's really just for fun.

Inventor Robert Wechsler used parts from 30-odd discarded bikes to make the merry-go-round that can reach speeds of 15 mph. He says that inevitably, someone always gets sick.

His creation essentially connects nine bicycles in a 12-foot diameter ring. There was some welding involved, but sections are bolted together so it can be dismantled.

He got the idea for the bicycle carousel from seeing all the bikes in use at UC Santa Barbara.

The 26-year-old inventor from Los Angeles told the Telegraph that there is lots of interest in the bike and he's been approached by manufacturers who want to build it.

One modification he'll have to make is a way to stop it. Right now, the only way is to stop pedaling.
