Now, this is one "Green RV" -- no gas or diesel needed. Just water and food to power the one-human-powered engine.
Artist Kevin Cyr built this pedal-powered RV in April, 2008. The camper sits on a modified three-wheeled bike. Inside, it includes small but efficient appliances, a place to sleep and storage space. Kevin Cyr was born in Edmundston, NB, Canada, in 1976 and grew up in the paper mill town of Madawaska, Maine. He now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. For the past couple of years, his work has focused on vehicles he's encountered in his neighborhood and where he's traveled in the U.S. and abroad. Cyr finds beauty in derelict and unkempt vehicles, in particular, those often associated with working-class society.
So far, only one bike camper has been built, so don't look for it on the lot of your local RV dealer.

Someone is pulling someones leg. The background looks like somewhere in China, not USA. Maybe he peddled over on a sanpan.
The rider looks a lot thinner than did Humphrey Pennyworth of Joe Palooka fame. Of course most readers here are most likely too young to remeber Joe and Humphrey.
I love it!
It's gotta be a booger on hills, though....
Call it a "fourth wheel."
Wow...gives a whole new definition to 'staying in shape'! Exercise whild toting your home behind you. I wonder if he 'fulltimes' in that rig?

This mode of transportation sure beats my 10 miles per gallon, however I do not believe my 71 year old legs would allow me to travel more than a few feet!
How neat! Wonder how much it weighs and how hard it is to move it. Some people have a wonderful ability to take an idea and turn it into a reality.
he must have built it in the far east looks a lot like china
If this is Canada, New York or Maine, why are the signs Asian?
Very Nice! Mr. Cyr is able to obtain all his needed exercise and, when he gets tired, he has a bed for rest. Nice way to go.
He'll need to build a new RV with a second seat for his girlfriend or modify the RV and install a window behind him for a passenger.
