MHO.... I think the evolution of the safety bicycle... has matured to an impasse. Once the iron horse, human powered machine, becomes powered by everything else as well... it loses purpose. If we have to recharge our electric bicycle-devices why not just add an electric motor and recharge the bicycle as a whole. Or... maybe just add a gasoline motor and call it a motorcycle.
Landrider still makes bikes, they even make a road bike. Yhey work the same way as those autobikes, except they also have a mini belt drive for the shifting, do auto bikes have those?
