bluegargantuaHey,
The Kiwis have come up with a human-powered monorail. So far, it's only at the amusement park stage, but it's an interesting idea.
Surprising fact -- I can't actually fit in one of those things.

Hi B.K.,
We have had several customers over 2m (6'7") tall and we still have room to spare.
The width (530mm/20in) has only been a problem for about 0.01% of our riders.
We are trying to set up Shweeb tracks in the US at the moment. Please tell us if you come across any ideal sites!
