Futuristic new cruise moves through waters in Paris by making guests PEDAL

If given the go ahead, the futuristic cruise could become a reality within 18 months.

Carlo Ratti, a founding partner of the design firm, told MailOnline: “It’s fascinating to see how the energy generated by a workout at the gym can actually help to propel a boat.

“It provides one with a tangible experience of what lies behind the often abstract notion of electric power.

“Strolling has always been a quintessentially Parisian way too express the excitement of urban life. What if tomorrow we can start to stroll on the river itself?”
