Nothing to Compare to the Bicycle?

Segways and the variety of fun electronic?

But none of these new alternatives are as claver than the original bicycle and it is not known why no one has been able to come up something that is so simple and yet effective?

Tri-cycles are used today for sportspeople with disability and some are available to the general public who can afford them, but they remain a specialist field and have no viable usage outside these two areas!

One does await the day when perhaps we will see a two seat tandem bike-car powered by human sweat instead of engines and electronics, but combing tech on a level for guidance rather than powering?

'On My Bicycle.'

The bicycle is probably the most basic and commonest form of transport, that the human mind has ever conceived. 

There are millions of them out there and they can be found everywhere in every type of environment. Obviously snow and sand may be not. From the Penny Farthing and early French developments, which had no pedals. The bike is now light weight and a racing machine in its own right.

It is also good for exercise and in extremely environmentally friendly. But withing the environs of the large cities, it can be a death trap to the automobiles.

But as a tricycle it is transport for millions in the third-world. The Rickshaw can be used to transport people and goods and it is a clever adaption. 

But what does the future hold for this wonderful mode of simple transport?
