Mishy Harman ’08 never wanted a unicycle, but he got one. It took him ten hours of labor at the Pfoho Grille to buy a replacement for the wheel that thieves lifted from his mountain bike last month.“I was devastated,” he said. “The wheel was more than half of the cost of the bike.” Harman is hardly the only Harvard student suddenly faced with missing or maimed means of transportation.

Ultimately, the movie’s major flaw is its overly complex Judaic discourse. Saul’s long lectures transport you home...
Clean Machine Inventor: Intelligent Energy Availability: In early 2007, for less than $10,000 To Learn More: envbike.com The ENV bike looks like a muscular motorcycle but runs more like a moped. Weighing in at 200 lbs., the aluminum bike travels at speeds of up to 50 m.p.h. on its hydrogen-powered fuel-cell engine. Project director Andy Eggleston says that proprietary technology allows the fuel cell to produce more energy than is typical. The ENV runs silently on a 5-oz. canister of hydrogen that costs about $4 and can power the bike for 100 miles. The drawback? California...
Training Wheels Inventor: Scott Shim, Matt Grossman and Ryan Lightbody Availability: In late 2006; $100 To Learn More: designapkin.com Learning to ride a bike can be fraught with anxiety, but it doesn't have to be. Industrial designers from Purdue University have invented the Shift tricycle, whose rear wheels move closer together as the rider picks up speed, then separate for easier balance at slower speeds or at a standstill. A spring-loaded mechanism in the rear hub controls the rear wheels, and there are no spokes or exposed bike chain. The 25-lb. aluminum trike won an international bike...
...much energy on ministers and churches? "People forget that churches also have hospitals in Africa," Okaalet says. "Most of the mission-based hospitals are in the rural areas where governments cannot reach. Where the road for the four-wheel-drive stops, the pastor gets on his bicycle.
