well its a good i dea i like your thinking your final design looks kind of like a big erector set, simple but sturdy and well designed

"velotaxi is innovative answer to increasing inner-city traffic". Huh? Isn't more traffic a bad thing?

[deastructionator]

what it means is that it is replacing cars for less congested traffic in close areas therefore increasing closeness and sustainable use of metropolitan areas where one feels quite alienated

I think they meant "Velotaxi is [an] innovative answer to [the problem of] increasing inner-city traffic". Trishaws used to be more common in Malaysia when I was a little kid. Now the only people you see riding them are white tourists. Maybe they'll make a come-back with the price of petrol going up.

hi noahh, i think that sentence lost something in the translation from german: i'm hoping they meant "increasing existing city's capacity for traffic: more people in small bikes means fewer people in big cars." definitely a foggy and wishful connection, but i could definitely see people finding these more attractive inner-city vehicles than hummers!

[noahh]

Ah, got it. Thanks.
