Mountain living

What about hilly terrain someone asked? Could the pedal car have an engine like a wind-up toy so that the pedals weren't actually moving the car but winding it up? How about combining with wind power? What if you mounted a couple windmills on the front of the car enclosed in a grate? Would the air blowing on the car while driving operate the blades and charge a battery perhaps to run the car's electrical systems? I don't know, what you think?

This is more like it!

Not really, unless you start walking around barefoot to work up those foot callouses! Come on, there has to be something better than this out there!

Did you guys notice I can't spell pedal?(bad way to start my new blog)

to peddle: to sell narcotics
to pedal: to operate a bike by manipulating it's pedals

Sorry Mom! (the English teacher) ;-P

I'm talking about a pedal car, not a bike bus

Now this is the Dutch pedal bus. This isn't the idea I'm looking for. I talking about a car- not a bike where you are driving out in the elements. Will it need to be an electric car where you have to plug a stationary bike into the battery to charge it? Perhaps it can have as back up power a converted diesel engine that runs on recycled veggie oil. hmmmmmmmmm. I still like the idea of pedaling as you go though.

You can check out this bus on the link to the left though!

Keep dreaming of pedaling and no gas bills!

We need cars powered by pedaling!

What is the answer for growing gas prices and growing waistlines in America? Vehicles powered by pedaling!!!!! Is there anyone out there who agrees and has the engineering know-how to make my dream car a reality?

Wouldn't it be great to have a van with 6 sets of pedals? The pedaling could either directly power the wheels or charge a battery that can power the car. What if you could disable the pedals you aren't using? What if there were light sensors on the dash to alert the driver who is slacking?

I'm sick of paying for $3 a gallon gas. I want a pedal car!
