	KidPower:: Pedal the Ocean :: The Human Powered Trans-Atlantic Speed Record :: Greg Kolodziejzyk
		Setting world records in cutting-edge human powered machines from the future, crossing an ocean in a pedal boat and crossing ice caps in record time by human power are the kind of accomplishments that give me a stage.
		The Kids will experience what it feels like to exert 150 watts of human power and the thrill of reaching speeds upwards of 50 kph just like Greg did when he broke the world record for the most distance covered in 24 hours by human power in his special human powered vehicle "Critical Power".
		The 'pilot' of the simulator navigates the human powered vehicle through a virtual city, turning corners at whim, exploring the city and avoiding other vehicle traffic, pedestrians and obstacles.
