Human Powered Monorail

My hamster dream came true. Years ago I dreamt about a human civilization that got around on modular transport vehicles. Everyone was hot and fit because everything was human powered. The only difference between the oddly name Shweeb and my utopian dream were people rewarded with dangling carrots in front of each pod. Yes people love carrots.

The Shweeb looks like some twisted amusement ride but it's a real idea and I think we need to build one here in the valley north of Los Angeles ASAP. I'd probably struggle with inclines but lookie lookie, you can ride backseat and let the person in front do all the work. They'll never know. Of course that defeats the purpose because half this idea comes from people staying healthy by forcing them to exercise. You wanna get from A to B fast? You gotta work for it, kinda like the carrot in my dream.
