Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2013 4:57 pmThat's not fair. I want to ride my bike in the air...
The government should subsidize this for my benefit--I mean, for the good of the people. Rich people can take the hit because who gives a f*ck about them, right?

I assume you are asking how they convert the power in the bike to power at the blades?
Its basically a series of pistons to rotational motion not dissimilar to your car.
Piston Action (legs on bike) -> Rotational Action (cog on bike) -> Piston Action (tension cables between bike and blades) -> Rotational Action (blades).
You cant apply the rotational force directly since you have four individual blades to power. I imagine they have some kind of system where you apply force to two blades on your right leg downstroke and the other two on your left leg downstroke.

Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2013 6:49 pmAmazing! Fun design too.
Looks real simple to setup. "Wanna go for a pedal-copter ride? Gimme about 2 hours..., and then I'll be on my way!"
