[Travel] New twist to transportation

First of all, I heard about Air Bike on Newstalk this morning.

[...] offer a pre-booking service for alternative, quick, environmentally friendly transport in and around Dublin city and the greater Dublin area. We will be using large touring motorcycles driven by highly trained riders to take you as a pillion passenger from 'A' destination to 'B' location.

They also provide helmut and oversuit. IMHO, I'm not sure about people getting on the back of bikes with an oversuit over their suits (which has been worn by whomever). What next, a tuk tuk?

Next on the list (well, the last on the list really), an airline passenger jet in America has been transformed to carry pets. It's called Pet Airways (Read more...). This idea, I like better. People would pay to make their best friend's travels more comfortable. Be warned of some puns here and there though in the article.
