** FLYING BIKES NOW A REALITY ** People have always been trying to make flying cars, but some researches in the Czech Republic have been able to make a 95kg (210lb) remotely-controlled bicycle that can hover several meters above the ground for five minutes. It is powered by two propellers on the front, two on the back and one on each side, all run on battery. As of now, the experiment was carried out in an exhibition at Prague where the prototype successfully took off and landed after soaring for a few minutes with a dummy rider on it. If all goes well, such a bike can be a big leap in transportation considering the congested roads and traffic jams we see everyday. The problem that is hampering the project is the energy carrying capacity of the batteries as the current ones only last a few minutes before needing a recharge.
