Back in the late '90's I read in Mountain Bike Action magazine about a guy who welded a bike frame out of large diameter tubes and put an air pump/motor in one of the hubs. When braking the air was stored at higher pressure
inside the airtight frame, then used to boost acceleration. Supposedly he was a teacher/professor and the bike was project for his students (but he was the one riding it
).
