Velomobile – the bicycle car

Friday, 27 February 2009 00:00

Lying down to exercise and helping the environment is actually possible – all while getting to where you need to be. Velomobiles are fully enclosed bicycles that you can use instead of a car, and without any environmental or petrol price worries. Riders cycle using standard pedals to power the velomobile and, depending on the rider, they can get speeds of up to 50 km/h. 

The enclosed pod keeps the riders dry and various models allow for extra space for belongings. You can get more information in English and German on their website, or if you prefer, try out the Velomobile song.
