I don't think they were that good though and I haven't seen one for a long time.
I've also seen items on TV in the 90s (might have been 2000-2001) about fold up scooters too.

Sometimes I only open my mouth to swap feet...

I had a go on a recumbent. Great fun on the flat and downhill, on the open road.
Not very good uphill, and scary round town.

but mileage (or kilometerige?) must be close to those 45mpg, right?

Also the fold-bikes are used very much here. You can take them for free in trains, busses and other public transport. This means you can use them from the station to your work and to home. Fold scooters are seen too, but less.

I don't know if you could get up enough speed to do much damage to yourself though.

Hi greenone
Pick your convertible, leave the dog, seat the bike next to you and go to a green field for a bike ride with pure air, far way from SUV“s.

It has a pricetag to match though.

As I ride a bike off the side of the road to and from work, I cannot see myself sharing the tarmac with cars whizzing past at 90-100km/h while I'm in a recumbent vehicle. I think they're a great idea, particularly if faired so that rain isn't an issue, however, I don't see them being that practical, particularly in terms of flying to another city and unfolding the bike and riding away from the airport. Again, this may be biased due to my experiences, and it must be added, Australia hasn't the same scale of large cities as elsewhere.

Rank - Statistical Division/District - Preliminary Estimated Resident Population, 2005 [2]
1 Sydney, New South Wales 4,254,894
2 Melbourne, Victoria 3,634,233
3 Brisbane, Queensland 1,810,943
4 Perth, Western Australia 1,477,815
5 Adelaide, South Australia 1,129,269
5 cities totalling over 12 million out a national population of 20 million. Pretty urban, although each city does cover a reasonable area. This means more riding in traffic compared with more compact cities.
For comparison, from http:
Rank - Urban sub-area - Population - Ceremonial county - Notes
1 London 7,172,091 Greater London, City of London Greater London administrative area only
2 Birmingham 970,892 West Midlands Metropolitan district, minus Sutton Coldfield, which is counted separately, plus areas in the north of the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull (Castle Bromwich etc)
3 Liverpool 469,017 Merseyside Metropolitan district, plus some areas outside
4 Leeds 443,247 West Yorkshire
5 Sheffield 439,866 South Yorkshire Excludes the suburbs of Beighton, Chapeltown and Mosborough/Highlane
