For stopping you just need to wear extra heavy soled shoes.

OMG. It looks like a soap box derby car for 4.
I can’t see me sharing the road with a semi in that.

Remember Al Capp’s Nomotocar? It operated on your breathing.
Had to quit making them because every time a guy saw a good looking girl the car would overspeed and wreck.

Oh, you could share the road...up to the point you are either squished or blown off the road.

I prefer a Mercedes S550, no peddling required.

I think I saw that on an episode of South Park.

How many treadmills with hamsters to power an on board charger?
Or why not have an aquarium with electric eels?
Or a small winch of carbon thread and a mylar kite?
Or when parked in remote areas an extend-able fiberglass pole with a pair of copper hooks and just get the power right off the power line, all you need is a voltage dropping transformer an an ac to Dc rectifier.

Flintstones!
Meet the Flintstones!
They’re the modern stone-age family.
From the town of Bedrock,
They’re a page right out of history.

I think I would be too distracted to watch traffic if I had to wipe the sweat out of my eyes every so many seconds.
I'm not sure it's progress when you go more primitive than a team of horses.

This remark in the comments section says it all!
"Yes, thats right after all of the advances of modern man we are finally now able to make a rail car that isn't on rails. Everyone rejoice!"
