The advantage of bikes like the WAW and Co. is they minimize fluid friction, allowing for higher speeds at some energy level, say ~45kph@200W for the WAW. Now, if built for modularity, with the ability to be combined into a larger vehicle with the same drag, just proportionally more rolling friction because of the increase in weight, these may allow two to four cyclists to hit speeds in excess of 60-100kmh using ~200W from each. Kinda like drafting except much more effective. :D

Makes sense, but hell, we can't get people to do car pooling, think we'd get them to do it via bike? Got a link to that bike?

JesIdo, right here (http://www.fietser.be/filosofie/WAWpaginas/eWAWpagina.htm). In terms of group dynamics, I'd hope that people who bike would be more open than auto drivers to cooperation, especially when it can result in a huge increase in commuting speed. But then again, maybe humans are just too exclusive for this sort of thing.

I just got out of a cage a couple years ago I rather live close to everything instead.
