The wind-human hybrid rickshaw work using windmills made from drum which will rotate when the pedicab began to walk. The windmill is connected to the rear wheels with a side-mounted gear, so when the drum began to rotate its will helps in acceleration, making it easier for the pedicab driver to pedal.

Cool fork. Bad physics.The wind drum thing moves because of air resistance, which the driver must counter with his legs. He might as well put a big sail in place of the drum.

Those forks are full of win.
