The SkyRider was just revealed at an airline industry tradeshow. The new "seats" take up only 23 inches... per row. The theory goes that this allows more passengers (like 40% more) and so will give cheaper seats. A number of budget US airlines are interested, as well as (no shocker here) a number of Asian airlines. The thing is though... you would probably have to pay me to ride like that. The company behind it says that cowboys are able to comfortably ride in the saddle for 8 hours a day, and so this should be fine. I call BS. The average American ass spends its time being well cushioned and consistently growing on a diet of fast-food and soda - the SkyRider would be about as comfortable for 8hrs to the average American as 8hrs of the Ring Cycle.

I think it could be fun and informative while greatly reducing the number of accidents (especially fatal ones) on the roads every year. Right now, the driving exam is basically a joke, it means that you know what the pedals...
