I have met her briefly; she lives in the same city I do. She also wrote a book

called " I Like to Run Too. "

 

I have watched the videos about the cars...two things I wonder about:

1) the true accessibility of getting around in a major US city. The top speed on

the car is what...25 mph? I could get to the grocery store going the backway,

maybe, and that's about it. The major street near my apartment is a 60 mph zone.

Maybe it can go in a bike lane...

2) and speaking of the grocery store, where is there room for groceries in the

vehicle?

 

I would love to have a vehicle that I could drive and have more independence,

but I'm just not sure about this.

I live in a town where the speed limit is 25 MPH. I'm able to drive a regular

car but transfers are a hassle. For me, it seems like it would make it a lot

easier to get out alone and run small errands, grab some groceries etc.
