Changing attitudes
Whether we are willing to admit it or not, personal transportation is going to change. It has already begun. If predictions of available global oil are correct, our supplies will last for about 30 more years at our current rate of consumption.
"Americans are addicted to oil." The popular solution to our present increased demand for oil is to drill for more wells, and when the cask is empty?
A greater investment in public transportation will help relieve much of the strain and inefficiency on our current transportation grid. Smaller and far more efficient automobiles will also help. The Bricycle can be one of many first steps toward a small, environmentally friendly commuting vehicle for use in cities and urban areas, but the Bricycle and similar types of transportation must prove to be reasonably safe and reliable before gaining acceptance.
