Magicbike: Delivering Free WiFi to New York City
People are finding more and more creative ways to use wireless internet connectivity every day. Case in point, Yury Gitman's Magicbike. The point of Magicbike is to provide a strong mobile WiFi hotspot in New York City. By attaching a laptop, internet-ready cell phone, and an access point to the bike, Yury was able to turn his bicycle into a portable hotspot, serving WiFi access to anyone nearby."I am like the ice cream man, but with no music
and I deliver free wireless access and not ice cream." - Yury Gitman, Magicbike

Hahaha, I actually found this quite funny. Ingenious in a way aswell.. I mean this really gives another meaning to portable wifi station. The bad thing is wouldn’t you lose connection (if connected to his connection) within a few minutes when he pedals away from you?
Haha still a good story.

I found this different, a bicycle computer station..lol. Its cool though, maybe he would warn users before he bicycles away that he is leaving. That was a smart idea though.
