The excitement and exhilaration of a bike is why people ride them."Stone, however, believes that the "soft and cuddly" green bike could be useful in city traffic.The bike's briefcase-sized fuel cell needs to be topped up every 100 miles and so far there is only one station in Britain that supplies the type of hydrogen required.But its makers believe that will change."The whole point of the project is to say the technology is here, it works, so now put the infrastructure up," said Talbot.</blockquote>
