Re: personal transportation

'on yer bike' is a great idea. Integrated suburban and city cycle routes, geared towards the cyclist with water points, lock -ups, shops, et, etc. Government assisted scheme to push for recumbent 2, 3 wheel bicycles, this style of bike is incredibly efficient. The larger or more laborious hills are served by a low-level ski-lift thang to tow you uphill if you want (this is powered by the Transport Minister and cronies who pedal a generator) ;-)

I know this sort of thing is toyed with, but somewhere like the UK, of very obvious finite space and likely to continue gridlocking and asthma-ising the populace, is an ideal vehicle (ho-ho) for such a scheme, yet LARGE SCALE! Think of the pedal-powered rickshaw businesses that can crop up along the routes. May even close some roads down in time, and plant urban orchards, let's go!


Have a look at this, way cooler than some generic lump of metal that you choke your kids with and stress out spending the rest of your unfit days paying for the freaking lump:
