There seems a movement, national and beyond, for coming to our cycling senses. I say this based on time spent recently in Charlotte, NYC, Chicago, DC, and maybe a couple other places where there are more and more sharrows and bike lanes.
But cycling is part of a broader process of rediscovering and inventing a variety of human-powered machines, which likely are at least part of the solution—if there is one—to our ecological crisis. I envision people-powered rail vehicles for transport of some goods and services, as well as people-powered water craft.
Fellow solutionaries, how about long distance human powered air craft? I’m drawing a blank on that one.
