A French group has created a pedal-powered submarine in order to enter an international human-powered submarine race in Maryland next year.
You can find the article about the submarine here.
And you can find info on the race here.
I’m thinking the Scubster would work quite nicely for commuting in Ottawa, allowing people to travel up and down the canal and across the Ottawa River without resorting to pesky bridges and traffic jams.
Also, there would be no risk of being hit by a car, though it remains to be seen how boat traffic will react to hordes of yellow pedal-powered subs flailing away at 10 km/h.
The NCC just has to install sub racks at key locations and we’ll soon be seeing civil servants with sodden wetsuits and scuba gear walking the last few metres to their offices.
