so i realize some of you may hate me for this, but i have some good reasons.
i would like to build a motorized bicycle that can SAFELY maintain 65 miles an hour over long periods of time that also requires pedaling full time. i see it as a serious option in the future of transportation being as you could get good mileage, stay in shape, etc. etc. realistically the only thing holding it back (aside from legal issues) are the tires and the general state of frames. but with the right engine, gearing, tires and frame, i see no reason why this couldn't be a reality. so i suppose a good place to start would be a few runs at bonneville and a whole lot of work. i like the three wheeled recumbant bikes out there (velo mobile??) i've heard they take those pretty serious over in holland. i'll have to look into it a little more, but they seem like a good platform to start with. the bike i'm building right now will be interesting, but really just a little round town runner. any thoughts?
