A few years ago, we never would have believed that most of us would be reading electronic books. Ebooks have definitely gone mainstream. Now it’s time for bicycles and automobiles to go through major transformations. As difficult as it is to believe, both moving vehicles will be climbing to new heights.

The other day, I showed you a well-funded company from Woburn, MA, that is testing the potential of a flying automobile. If this company doesn’t make it, another will. That is just how technology evolves. The first person with an idea is not necessarily the one that brings it to market. Just be prepared; it’s going to happen.

Now we learn that there is a flying bicycle in the works. Three Czech companies have teamed up to make a prototype of an electric bicycle that can fly. One of the first trials took places in a Prague exhibition hall last week. The bike, which was controlled remotely, landed safely after a five-minute flight.

Looking like a heavy mountain bike, it weighs 95 kilograms (209 pounds). It has two battery-powered propellers in the front, two in the back, and one on each side.

Bike frame manufactures are excited about these trials. Some are even designing the proper housing. That means if and when the flying bikes are ready to go, the frames will be available. Looks like we all may be flying through the air on a personal vehicle, one way or another in our lifetime.
