Replace cars with velomobiles
Speed record of a velomobile: 144 km/h https://www.aerovelo.com/eta-speedbike [https://www.aerovelo.com/eta-speedbike] We don’t need any knew infrastructure, we just need to get cars out of the way [https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2009/10/cars-out-of-the-way/]
Both the velomobile and the electric bicycle increase the limited range of the cyclist – the former optimises aerodynamics and ergonomics, while the latter assists muscle power with an electric motor fuelled by a battery.
The electric velomobile combines both approaches, and so maximises the range of the cyclist – so much so that it is able to replace most, if not all, automobile trips.
Why aren’t we all driving around in these things?
