I didn’t realize that Dean Kamen became the CEO of Uber. In Chicago, there’s only two seasons: Construction and Winter. Until my city gets covered in a glass dome, I think I will stick to trains and automobiles. I do bike occasionally, weather and motivation permitting.
I have thought of this for a while. But, why has there never been a fully covered 2 wheeler / single seater on the market ?
It seems like the kind of thing that can exploit the pros of a car, while mitigating atmospheric and safety related problems associated with bikes.
I am genuinely surprised that there hasn't even been a startup that has tried to dabble in this, let alone an established company.
My only guess focus groups might hate the idea of it.
On topic:
I welcome the push towards bikes as a primary method for transport. If the necessary traffic rule adjustments are made, then biking can be a very safe method for transportation on a daily basis
