About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
I keep thinking (and I am not at all athletic/biker), it would be wonderful, and solve most all health problems, if there were serious dedicated "self propelled" two way highways across the entire world. sort of a parallel, but TOTALLY separate "self propelled" system. this could be enhanced by "self propelled" ONLY services/camp spots/foraging spots/services – minor maintenance – food kiosk – info – b & b etc..
no fuel use/no pollution/ think of all that fresh air and exercise / chance to visit and say hello to fellow travelers..
I see these posts like above and the cargo bike one, and think, wow, they , and a "self propelled" exclusive highway could change life
Where's the like button for that comment.

A bike highway sounds like a beautiful thing.
