When you don't need your car, try a biofuel assisted bicycle

We don't always need to take our cars places. Sometimes we can walk, and sometimes we can ride a bike. But... if you can't do that, how about taking a biofuel assisted bike?

MobiBike has created just such a vehicle using a folding Dahon mountain bike with front shocks and disk brakes, and added a Subaru 4-stroke 33.5 cc engine that is set up to run on E85.

Of course, there are also many electric powered bicycles available as well, and, if they travel under 20mph, you don't need any sort of license for them, according to federal law.
