Bluevelo enclosed bicycles

New_cabbike0004reduced

Garbo vanted to be a lone-ah, and she might have found happiness had she lived in the age of the Bluevelo velomobile. Built from super-light carbon fibre and aluminum, they're human-powered, single-seat three-wheelers intended to replace your car for commutes or non-gargantuan shopping trips, your snowmobile or motorcycle for cruising, and your feet for when you want to go somewhere but also want to sit down with a cuppa. It's curious, given they're Canadian, that they specifically mention it being a usable winter gadget - though they are near Toronto, which has less winter than, say, Tuktayuktuk. They're each individually constructed so the price varies, but it tends to be between £4500 and £5500. [GT]
