a bike that can only run on special roads.

inverted caternaries, to be exact(more info). See, a bike with square wheels(media) can only be run on a special caternary road(media player).. And as far as I know, there aren't many caternary highways.

Also you can't steer very well, as mentioned in the site you linked, so you can only go in the direction the road goes (can only do certain things with the media).

How funny -- I was just thinking about the article about square-wheeled bikes you kinked to the other day and wondered where I could find it! I like the analogy with DRM / proprietary media formats and players.

I don't see a problem. I have a bike with such wheels and it works fine on Houston's streets. Very smooth ride.
