Dhaka, June 13: The lifelong dream of a young man, Saiful Islam Mano of Faridpur district in Bangladesh comes true as he has recently completed building a bicycle after one year of dedication that can run on water, too.
With its handle and carriers enhanced by solar panels, four small tubes are attached to each of its wheel, which ensures that the cycle stays afloat in water. The tubes can be shifted upwards for paddling the cycle on the road as well. Coming from a humble family at Paikpara village in Madhukhali upazila of Faridpur, Saiful, a 32-year-old man, could not complete his institutional education, yet his zeal for innovation was not confined within the walls of Biswa Zaker Manzil Madrasah, from where he completed his Kamil studies and joined Shakti Solar Light as a manager.
Soon he left the job, and unemployment drove him to innovate. It was then that the idea of experimenting with a vehicle that could tread both road and water came to his mind.
