    I was actually going to send these links to you a couple of days ago, but never got around to it.

    Here's two pictures of bikes inside the LHC:

    I figure in such an enclosed space, you don't want to use combustion engines and bicycles are much cheaper than electric of fuel-cell powered vehicles
