BIKE: Car of the future?

[Lane Wimberley]

It looks sleek and sexy and all that, and I'd love to take it out for
a test spin, but I have to admit that it looks particularly prone to
tipping in turns.

I love these sorts of ideas, although I'm always reminded how tragic
it is that these options are effectively made impossible here in the
US because of our penchant for insanely huge and fast vehicles
combined with traffic laws.

-Lane, who also isn't quite sure whether he's ready to drop $8-10K on
a single-seater...
