Velomobile Redesign - As a bicycle rider I quickly realized that bicycles don't work well with other vehicles. The problem that I found was that bicycles do not fit into Americas current transport grid. The roads were built for cars, trucks and buses but not bicycles. I feel like we try to fix this by adding bike lanes but unless they are separated lanes it is only a bandage on the grid. This concept sets to question what if we make a velomobile larger, more agile and have it blend into the Urban/Suburban environment
