A solution to the world\'s urban transportation problems could lie in two wheels not four

OK we knew that for a long time but coming from GM? Of course their vision on how to do more with less involves a chair, two wheels and a motor. While I would love to see more appropriate sized transportation options there is sort of an image problem as soon as you put a seat on a Segway, the prototype sort of looks like a souped wheelchair with wheelie and roll bars.

Here is Streetsbolg's take:

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
