I'll wait for the sports car, but yeah, you can fuel up over at the bicycle pump.

Not at those pressures. They're talking over 4000 PSI. I guess you need that much to get milage, but you won't be doin' much hand pumpin'. Well... Maybe while you're sittin waiting for the tow truck.

Before I start jumping for joy, I'd like to see how much power it takes to regas, & a cost analysis. I'd also like to see some independent testing on the strength of those tanks before I go riding on top of them.
