The racing velodrome is apparently just the proof of concept re mechanics, aero etc. The transport model is very subtly different and they have answers to all the questions on this blog (all questions i asked). Kinda exciting. Apparently their Uk company is up and running and some big guns are talking to them already re scenic and transport routes there and in Asia. Guess we are going to find out pretty soon! hey guys, the inventor talked me through all of this.

One question, when I get to my destination, how do I stop, and exit? I’m with the masses on green house effect, although, it could have potential in smaller venues, such as malls.

I love comments like

Can you pass someone? I am a big advocate of pedal powered transportation, but I am not sure I would want to be stuck behind a slow poke on the single track of the rail. Can you pass someone?
