Death sentence to whoever chose to animate a fake scatter plot over this thing. And yeah velomobiles are just speed-optimized bicycles.

Finally a graph that dares to compare cows and jet fighters!

Mice should be ashamed of their inefficiency.

Now if we could just get a salmon on a velomobile

This is so cool. Why do I intuitively expect the efficiency should increase with the Y axis instead through? It feels somewhat upside down?

Velomobile looks like fun but they cost so much. Seems like they are typically custom built and use carbon fibre. So several thousand or more. Meanwhile my bike was like £600.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that the main upside of a velomobile is removing the un-aerodynamicality of the human on it

Which makes me wonder whether a bike without a biker will be more aerodynamic than a velomobile

curious where lighter than air vehicles and trains end up on there
