Couldn't think of a better place to put this. It requires thought, yet if need be, please move to FI.
I have a school project this week. It's based off of the late great inventor Leonardo Da Vinci.
My initial design idea was this.
Use a normal bike. Attach some kind of wings somehow to a persons back, and connect those wings to the bike.
For the wings: Either fuse two kites together on each side (Total of 4 kites), using fake princess walmart halloween costume wings, or coat hangers, or something similar, to make a frame and fabric.
Attachment: Sewing the "wings" onto a vest we have, or a backpack.
Bike: Use training wheels bent down to touch ground at all times. Use string, or something else to link the wings to the rims of the training wheels, so that the movement of the wheels pulls the wings down.
Obviously, there are some design flaws. I'm really no good at this kind of stuff, and I can't think of anyone better to ask. :3

Design a machine that allows a person to make giant wings flap by pedaling with his/her feet.
