Electric Scooter
This is a short video clip showing someone riding an "electric scooter". That is different from an electric bicycle, in that it has no pedals for propelling the vehicle using human power.
Walking Suit robot
Another form of alternative transportation of the future?

ElectroAirBikes
This is a video taken in France, in 2005, of a test run of some prototype bicycles. One is using compressed air and electricity as its power source to propel the vehicle. The other is using compressed air with a little human power assistance to propel the vehicle
You can find more info on these vehicles and other innovative designs using compressed air as a power source at www.electroairbike.com (This website is in French language)

Bicycle Trophies
Check out this trophie, a gold plated bicycle bell on a wood(?) base with brass plack.
They are issued by FUBicy, "Fédération française des Usagers de la Bicyclette" (english translation, "French federation of the Users of the Bicycle")
(see english tranlation of thier website)
Also, see thier article titled
"The helmet with bicycle: a false response to road insecurity"
(french to english translation)
Picture of cyclists riding in a helmet is from their website.
U-Lock cutting
The picture to the right is of a Santa Monica Fire Department officer using a gasoline powered circular saw with a special circurlar blade for cutting hardened steel, cutting through a U-lock. The owner of the u-lock and the bike, had lost his key and couldn't open his lock. He asked the a Santa Monica police officer for assistance. The SMPD called to the Santa Monica Fire dept to see if they could help. They sent a crew out to the location of the bicycle with that special saw. It took several minutes to make a single cut. The blade created a light show of flying sparks. And it created blaring sounds as the blade grinded through the hardened steel and as the gasoline motor revved up, to make that cut.
The picture to the bottom right is what the lock looked like after it got cut off by the Santa Monica Fire Department.
The lock was cut off in downtown Santa Monica, near the store space which is now occupied by REI at 4th and Santa Monica blvd, sometime around 2002.
