@yynnmmbb, it's called a velomobile, a human powered vehicle and has all the rights to the roadway that other road users have. I am driving the velomobile on the roadway in order to travel to my destination.
@yynnmmbb, it's a common misconception, but one that is easily push aside after having taken a cycling safety course. It's one of those things where you realize how easily it's done and how much better riding can be. I can't post links here, but if you check out
@monkah15, if you ride a bicycle on any roadway, a Cycling Savvy course (two Vs, not a W) is a good investment in safety. One would not jump from an airplane without training although it could be done. Riding a bike can be safer than you think. Thank you for a civil discussion.
@monkah15, the certificate is meaningless. The training put to use, turned into experience is not. After nearly 25,000 miles of riding this particular vehicle using that training suggests that your assessment is incorrect. Take the course, practice the training or not. If you had a cycling safety course under your belt, you would not suggest as you have, because you would know better.
@monkah15, having taken a cycling safety class and an instructors certification seminar, I can tell you that your assessment is incorrect by many orders of magnitude.
@dregerclock, yes, it's one of those things that no amount of training or skill can prevent. Every one of the drivers in the video had the same luck. The garbage truck had three people in it and the economy car and firebird drivers were not injured either. Someone told me that the state lottery is a big one tonight. Those folks may want to jump on their lucky day bandwagon and maybe buy one or two. Maybe not.
@freddotu - yeah, no kidding! Seems to me that the state or city or county might consider putting up some kind of energy absorbing crash barrier in the median there!
Why in the hell are you driving a soap box car down the highway ?
