Screw your Prius. I want, no NEED, one of these!
That's right, I want to put my car into semi-retirement and reserve it for occasional use. So how will I get to work? Via velomobile! Pedal powered, fully enclosed, supremely aerodynamic. Sorry Prius and other hybrid drivers, this gets the equivalent of around 1500 mpg while improving your health...





Time to start saving. Not cheap due to low volume manufacturing, but their day will come!

2. link
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velomobile
Down at the bottom are a whole bunch of links to manufacturers. that top one is a "Go-One Evolution", the blue one is a WAW.

Cupholders? Bottle cage mounts, you mean. A few, I'd imagine!

4. Get in front of me on the interstate in that little thing, and your health will NOT be improved.
My Prius don't brake too well, you may have heard. :P
