Except for novelty value, what is the win/feature compared to normal bicycles?
This rail system must have a lot of new failure modes, compared to an asphalt bicycle path.
Cheaper to install? Safer? Less problem in rain?
- jsvaughan 16y agoit would be more aerodynamic. I have a recumbent bike which is a lot faster than a conventional racing bike, but too low to ride safely in traffic. i think it is interesting from the point of view of extremely efficient transport, rather than as an alternative to a bike; you could certainly see it being successful if it was all electric rather than pedal powered.
- BvS 16y agoWould be much faster if you wouldn't need to stop at red lights etc. Also probably safer and indeed more comfortable, especially during winter or when it's raining.
