Velomobiling Guide

The Velomobiling site Gallery features Velomobile Albums including Aerorider, Alligt Alleweder, Aurora, Berkut, Birk Butterfly, Cab-Bike, C-Alleweder, Flevo Alleweder (FAW), Go-one, Leiba, Leitra, Limit, Mango, Quest, Sunrider, Versatile, and WAW, with a miscellaneous album for limited-edition and home-built velomobiles, including La Fleche. "Building a Velomobile" showcases velomobile construction projects. Velomobile Circus celebrates wild and colorful velomobile designs.

The quick velomobile overview page is up again in English en in het nederlands.

They're still incomplete, but the Velomobile Comparison Tables are far enough along to mention here.

We've assembled some links to 2-person velomobiles, 2-wheel velomobiles, tandem recumbents, side-by-side and back-to-back tandem bikes and trikes. Whether you want two-person, two-wheel, multi-rider, or some other variation on the human-powered vehicle, we've tried to include it.

From any page on the site, just click the header photo of the velomobile in the tulips to return to the home page. On the "book" pages, it looks like this:

Original site

The original Velomobiling.net site will be closed down and merged with this site some time in 2007. (If that link brings you back here, it's already happened). We are creating archives of the articles and "blocks." Velomobile information, articles, event announcements, and links related to human-powered vehicles will be appearing on this Drupal version of the velomobiling site.

For articles and reviews on velomobiles, velomobile-building, and velomobiling (in English and Dutch), from the original site see the Archives list. paginas in het nederlands

transportationmatrix The Transportation Matrix

Frederik Van De Walle and Peter Cox propose a new way to look at personal transportation. Instead of an evolutionary progression from foot to bicycle to motorcycle to car, they envision a matrix of options that range along an axis of increasing motorization (bottom to top in this diagram, but you could also arrange them from top to bottom), with another axis representing increasing enclosure/weather protection (here shown from right to left).
