How much does it cost? I can imagine people paying money to have clean water to drink, but I have a hard time imagining they'll pay to make their daughters' morning water-collecting easier. How well does it work as a general bicycle? It'll inevitably be used for that too. My favorite water purifying method is the Potters for Peace filters. They're made locally in >20 countries, and retail for $10-15 (when not subsidized): -their site: www.pottersforpeace.org -2nd video on the page: http://other90.cooperhewitt.org/Events/design-for-the-other-90-symposium Looks interesting.

How about a transport bicycle and a separate water purifier that uses gravity to run the water through a filter? I'm not so sure about the combination...
