Cyclists are an odd group. There is a huge diversity among individuals. However, some are also deeply troubled by the concept that not all cyclists choose to dress like rolling billboards.
Earlier I had considered trying to build a solar electric pedal car. It isn't in the cards at the moment, but I may have renewed interest in the future.
At the moment I'm choosing to be non-driving, but I also realize that it takes a rare breed of person to pound the roads from out of town.
