My main bike route




This is my bike riding route. This is a housing development area where the development stopped. There is an apartment complex and about 8 houses here. I hardly ever see a car go past the traffic circle into the back half of this loop. It is a two lane one way loop. The speed limit is 25 mph so if there is a car they aren't going much faster than I am. I have to watch for cars at the traffic circle and when I turn around just before I get to the main road. Most of the time I drive here and then bike but it is only about 2 miles from my apartment.

This company in Australia sell a very nice trike velomobile for ~ $15,000.

The Quest from Blue Velo is another option from Canada. Its not as expensive at 8,750.

Go-One also has some nice velomobile models and dealers in the USA.

I could get one of these or a new car. I think I'll go with the car for now. I don't live in a bike friendly area.
