Bicycle: a means of transport between cake-stops

Weekend before last, I went to the hovercraft show down in Lee-on-Solent and was fortunate enough to get to see in person something I'd only ever read about: a human-powered hovercraft!
Essentially a recumbent bike powering one lifting fan and one driving fan.
While it looked like enormously hard work, and the pilot was only able to keep the thing aloft for about 30 seconds at a time, it did work.
