In a little over a year, I've gone from simply riding a recumbent trike to having a homemade e-assist velomobile to driving a hybrid car. What I'd really like to move to is a commercial velomobile such as a Quest or a Mango, but for that to occur, I guess I have to go back to work or win the lottery, neither of which is likely to happen. In the meantime, my solar trike velomobile with the big hubmotor is blazingly fast, but with a lead acid battery pack, the range is dismally minimal. Hit the lottery time once again for a better battery! I also have found out that I don't think like a blogger, having completely forgotten about this site. Maybe I'll do better in the future? Remains to be seen. The good news is that I've rediscovered the joys of walking and hiking. Over 500 miles of walking/hiking last year! I've hiked old Army munitions plants, walked over the world's first nuclear reactor (and second reactor, too) and did not blow up or glow in the dark! Riding took a bit of a hit, less than 1/2 of 2008's 4400 miles riding were logged in 2009, but I guess I don't feel too bad about that since I described it as only "a bit of a hit". Well, there's always 2010 to look forward to for riding and hiking!
