Uber Giant Hamster Ball Option

Since the start of the year, I’ve made a concerted effort to be more active. Ironically, I made a semi-viral walking app and got <500 steps for most of last year, but people can change (I hope). On Sunday I got a whopping 7k+ steps. I know that’s not much, but it’s progress.

People who live in cities have an unfair advantage when it comes to walking because it’s a reasonable method of transportation.

This got me thinking. What if there was a way to stay active when using apps like Uber? This led me to the idea of a giant hamster ball that the customer could help their driver push forward.

I’m envisioning giant hamster balls bouncing down the steep streets of San Francisco or getting yelled at on the 405 and it is very funny. No, I don’t think there’s real utility here, but it would be hilarious if some version of this got implemented.
