mastodon 4.7.2We see velomobiles as being a key way to address the #ClimateCrisis but most cost more than a used car. Our goal is to produce enclosed velocars that cost less than a used automobile to make them affordable by all. Think of a FolksVelo as a link to public transport and local errands, a better alternative to cars, like a cargo bike where even the parent gets to stay out of the rain www.FolksVelo.com

Here Is yet another wonderful example of transportation integration between bicycles and trains 🥰
an unusual velomobile with a single front wheel. Photo is dated 1948 but i suspect it's older

the new InterCity trains from REGGIO CALABRIA to NAPOLI make traveling with your bicycle a joy

Blockade? Not a problem if your trasportation Is a bicycle
a reasonable request
A critical part of bicycle infrastructure must be parking. Here is an impressive solution
bicycles as an instrument of peace:

Working from a Fairfax garage, Charlie Cunningham built lighter, faster bicycles and helped transform the emerging sport of modern mountain biking.
If this happens it will be the death of two civilizations...
Any nation that intentionally annihilates another nation cannot be defined as civilized
We must not confuse military might with civilization.
Also at SPEZI was the amazing Juliane Neuß founder of a company unique in fact and name. https://junik-hpv.de/
They designer, developed, build and sell bicycles for those individuals with dwarfism. When I asked her why she replied "because adults should not be forced tò ride children's bicycles and respecting a person's unique porportions makes for healthier riding"
Amazing woman
Amazing company
Fabulous products
Also at this year's SPEZI I stumbled across another folding wonder.This one, however, has three wheels, an impressive turning radius, can be quickly folded to fit most tight spaces & is engineered, developed and completely produced in Basque Country. I really enjoyed my test ride of this on the track. Unlike many reverse trikes this one has a very comfortable upright seating position which really helped with visibility

3/3 #Paris🇫🇷, this election builds directly on the legacy of @annehidalgo who spent years reshaping the city, often against fierce resistance, turning riverbanks into public space and traffic lanes into bike paths.
What’s striking is not just that these ideas exist. It’s that people are voting for them.
There are so many wonderful solutions to be found in old velomobiles. Note the independent pedal options which would allow for the use on one or both legs. Just think how this would make velomobiles more accessible for the diversely-abled community. I love too the use of commonly available bicycle components
Also at #SPEZI2026 I met Darren Sables who introduced me to this brilliant (pun intended) rechargable visibility device.
It telescopes down to pocket size and would work on wheelchairs, bicycles, and velomobiles
Yes, Freiburg's cathedal Is AMAZING...but have you also tried the liquorice???? 😋🥰
I now understand why there was a long line in front of this stand
On this day, it's critical that acknowledge that we've seen before what's now happening.
In the 1930ies the world leaders could have stopped Fascism & the Holocaust, but did not.
Let's not dishonor this day by repeating the same mistakes #DayofRemembrance

@jeneralist yes, it's real, in Utrecht i also saw many fabulous bike parking stations... But you do make a good point. Parking seems tò favor basic city bikes over other types of bicycles
