What’s wrong with cars? While many of us rely on cars for everyday transportation, we often fail to realise the impact that driving around 2 tonnes of metal has on the environment - while we may be aware of it in a wider context, it can be difficult to reconcile that with our dependancy on their conveniance. Up to 50% of urban journeys are single occupancy, in which only 3% of the fuel burnt is actually used to propel the occupant - the rest is wasted in moving the vehicle itself.

It all began with our local village soap box race in 2017. A quarter mile “race” featuring a wonderful array of entrants, from decorated wheelbarrows, shopping trolleys, to push carts. We decided to enter a rather cool vehicle, a three-wheel recumbent racing trike design. Or so we thought at the time! Made of wood, with a simple pivoting axle, it did the job, and despite the lack of engine (Jim), Alex came fourth in a race of 30.
