    This document discusses human-powered modes of transportation (HPMC). It provides background on why HPMC are still popular despite motorization, highlighting reasons like cost, exercise, and environmentalism. The history section outlines that the first two-wheeled rider-propelled vehicle was the Draisienne in the 18th century. The document then discusses the efficiency and advantages of bicycles as the most efficient common HPMC due to their lightweight and gearing system. Other HPMC like kick scooters and tricycles are also outlined.

    WHY WE NEED HPMC?

    ALTHOUGH MOTORIZATION HAS INCREASED SPEED AND LOAD CAPACITY, MANY


    FORMS OF HUMAN-POWERED TRANSPORT REMAIN POPULAR FOR REASONS
    OF COST, CONVENIENCE, LEISURE, PHYSICAL EXERCISE, AND
    ENVIRONMENTALISM. HUMAN-POWERED TRANSPORT IS SOMETIMES THE ONLY
    TYPE AVAILABLE, ESPECIALLY IN UNDERDEVELOPED OR INACCESSIBLE REGIONS.
    HISTORY OF
    HPMC:

    • THE FIRST TWO-WHEELED RIDER-PROPELLED MACHINE FOR WHICH THERE IS


    INDISPUTABLE EVIDENCE WAS THE DRAISIENNE, INVENTED BY BARON KARL
    VON DRAIS DE SAUERBRUN OF GERMANY.
    EARLY
    HPMC:

    • HUMAN-POWERED LAND VEHICLES ARE LAND VEHICLES PROPELLED OVER GROUND


    BY HUMAN POWER. THE MAIN WAYS TO SUPPORT THE WEIGHT OF A HUMAN-POWERED
    LAND VEHICLE AND ITS CONTENTS ABOVE THE GROUND ARE ROLLING CONTACT;
    SLIDING CONTACT; INTERMITTENT CONTACT; NO CONTACT AT ALL AS WITH ANYTHING
    CARRIED; OR SOME COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE.
    MOST EFFICIENT HPMC (BICYCLE)

    • I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THE BICYCLE. THEY CAN BE HAD VERY CHEAPLY (ALTHOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE TO
    SPEND GREAT AMOUNTS OF MONEY IN PURSUIT OF DIMINISHING RETURNS) . THEY HAVE MULTIPLE GEARS
    ALLOWING A VAST RANGE OF MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE FOR DIFFERENT GRADES AND LOADS. THEY ARE
    LIGHTWEIGHT (A FRACTION OF THE MASS OF THE HUMAN THEY CARRY) AND HAVE LOW ROLLING FRICTION
    TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF DOWNHILL SLOPES AND GAINED MOMENTUM. THEY CAN REACH HIGH SPEEDS
    RELATIVE TO WALKING AND RUNNING. THEY TAKE MINIMAL SPACE
    • NO OTHER HUMAN POWERED VEHICLE IN COMMON USE CAN DO BETTER.
    • THERE ARE WALKING, ROLLER SKATING, SWIMMING, SKATEBOARDING. CROSS COUNTRY SKIS.
    • BECAUSE OF THEIR LOW SLIDING FRICTION, CROSS COUNTRY SKIS, SKATES, SKATEBOARDING MAY COME IN
    TIED FOR SECOND. BUT I DON’T THINK THEY GET THE MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE FOR SPEED AND PAYLOAD
    ON FLAT, LEVEL GROUND.
    MOST FATTEST
    HPMC
    (AEROVELOS)
    • AEROVELO'S 'ETA' BIKE IS AS FAST AS A CAR SPEEDING ON A HIGHWAY, REACHING SPEEDS
    OF 89.59 MPH (114.18 KMPH). CREATED BY TODD REICHER AND CAMERON ROBERTSON, THE
    AERODYNAMIC BIKE SET A NEW SPEED RECORD FOR A HUMAN-POWERED VEHICLE AT THE
    WORLD HUMAN POWERED SPEED CHALLENGE IN BATTLE MOUNTAIN, NEVADA THIS YEAR.
    AEROVELOS SW FLOW SIMULATION:
    DIFFERENT TYPES OF HPMC:
    • KICK SCOOTERS, KICKBIKES, KNEE SCOOTERS, AND SQUARE SCOOTERS.
    RICKSHAWS, PRAMS, STROLLERS, ROLLER BUGGIES AND BUGGIES/SHOPPING
    TROLLEY (CADDY) SKATEBOARDS, LONGBOARDS, PENNY BOARDS,
    SNAKEBOARDS, CASTER BOARDS, FREELINE SKATES, SURFSKATE (OR
    CARVEBOARD) TRICYCLES, QUADRACYCLES, AND VELOMOBILES.
