Have no car, will travel
Article Abstract:
A folding bike can be an effective means of transport for people who do not own a car. People using a bike of this kind can sometimes attract ridicule, but they remain firm in their belief that it is a viable way to travel. Cycling does not pollute the environment, and cyclists have no parking problems in towns and cities. The Folding Society now has more than 300 members from across the world.

OK, so they're cute. But llamas have their uses
Article Abstract:
Llamas are generally very easy to look after, and tend to be gentle and intelligent animals. A male llama can be sold for around 500 pounds sterling, but farmers are unwilling to consider having a herd of llamas because they cannot be bred up quickly. However, they can be useful as a tourist attraction, and the fibre from their coats can be made into very warm garments.
