One of the most mysterious cats on earth is the Chinese mountain cat (Felis bieti). These wild cats live in the high elevations of the northeast Tibetan plane. The first photograph of a Chinese mountain cat in the wild was taken in 2007. Before that, all we had was a few zoo specimens and some old pelts. But in September, a bird researcher from the ShanShui Conservation Center discovered a den with a mother and two cubs, and set up a camera trap. You can see the footage and some still pictures at Birding Beijing. Not only are they rare, but they are adorably rowdy, too. -via Metafilter

There's no way I could ride one with the roads we have in Québec.

Still, it's pretty hard to improve on a vehicle that:
-is the most efficient form of land travel (at the equivalent of 500-1000 mpg)
-when set up and tuned properly, achieves about 95-98% efficiency of energy transfer
-costs only a couple days' wages, and is easy to maintain
-extends the life expectancy of the user
Unfortunately, many of the designs sacrifice some of those benefits, in favor of weirdness.
The Schweeb is more like an amusement park ride, and I want a spin on it. But not after "Bruno the Bean-Eating Wonder" just got out of it.
