Saw this online, kind of an odd but interesting mind bender: can you bike in zero gravity?
Take a look:

Kind of funny that they invented a new name for their hybrid machine.
Good find.
Additionally, since some downward force (weight) is needed for the tires to have traction with the floor; in zero-g trying to power a bicycle via rolling resistance would be futile.
Of course you can bike in zero gravityhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRyE0ElfLhQ
His seat is… never mind.
Ironic that one of the researchers was Anoop Grewal. Alexi Grewal won Road Cycling Gold at the 1984 Olympics. Many here in Colorado felt that Alexi was in “Zero Gravity.”
I raced against Alexi’s father in the Vet’s division, who was nationally ranked, but unlike Alexi, he had his feet firmly on the ground.
…and why would you even need to bike? Just one push off, then wait till you get there
