I wish there were affordable velomobiles on the market. I would totally use that to buy groceries and get around town.

There are some plans for building a tadpole yourself. The xyz spaceframes is relatively easy but not ideal.

This actually looks pretty cool. A modular bike frame has all sorts of applications.
