Human Powered Vehicles, Throw away your BMW Wheels get out your Biking Gear

Because everyone is searching for ways to save money and “go green” why not utilize alternative transportation methods? You don’t really need that fancy car with those BMW Wheels and expensive rims, all you need is yourself. It’s all about human powered vehicles. That’s right, no engines, go gas, no fuel, no harmful emissions. Just the good old power of your pure American muscle, your legs. Get back into shape, condition your body, and become a “greener” traveler. Technologies are getting better and better ladies and gentlemen. And I’m not just speaking of vehicles with their standard GPS systems and audio control panels, I’m talking wheels, gears, skates, oars, sleds. Bicycle shops are really stepping it up and showing everyone out there that riding a bike is just as fast and handy as riding a car. Believe me, you’ll never feel more free with the ability to weave through traffic and go on red lights.

Here is a list of human powered vehicles that are worth investing in.

  • Bicycles
  • Tricycles
  • Unicycles
  • Skateboards
  • Scooters
  • Handcycles
  • Caster boards

Obviously, those all use wheels and of course the core of all humans, their strength. Here are some non-wheel powered vehicles.

  • Ice skates
  • Sleds
  • Skis
  • Snowboards
  • Canoes, kayaks, rafts, manual boats

These are all ways to help you keep your body conditioned in a healthy way. They also serve as some of the best human powered transportation methogs. Bicycling is by far the most valuable, easiest to access, and affordable. So get out your biking gear and say bye-bye to 45 dollar gas bills and engine powered vehicles. Go Greener and Bike for transportation.
