If the roads were too rutted to ride this bike, then it could be used in the stationary position. A human powered filter would be much, much better than one that works with gravity only.

The people who need these bikes do not live in places where they can get parts to fix them, and I have to say this thing looks like it will soon break with daily use on the kinds of roads it will be driven on. What's wrong with giving these people sturdy bikes (or trikes) and filters that work with gravity feed? All you need is a 5 gallon jug and a low basket on your bike, along with a filter bag you can hang on your wall or a nearby tree. There is no need to pedal your water through a filter and no need for complex plastic machinery. Honestly, I think this is a nice idea that is, unfortunately, stupid.

Cyclists can have an impact beyond what we at first might imagine. Not sure what the point was from the first two responses though. That is way cool!!
