@cypherhippie@chaos.social That's true for rail (which by definition requires infrastructure), but not for others. Certain specific implementations -- such as what urban dwellers are used to seeing -- usually do, but they all have cousins that don't. No Land Rover or mountain bike requires a road, for example. As for off-road velomobiles, I don't know of specific examples, but I'm sure they're out there, or can be made.

@wesdym@mastodon.social I’m pretty sure the datapoint on velo is based on a perfect pavement structure - not on off-road tracks. Steve Jobs was well known for telling that story - also omitting the infra difference.
