Abstract
I proposed this topic to our group because I had been contemplating the subject for a considerable time. Cambridge is a bicycle city and most its people regularly travel by bike. According to the Cambridge City Council, "Cambridge has the highest level of cycling in the country with 1 on 4 residents cycling to work". Moreover, the city provides good infrastructure and is continuously improving it to make life easier for cyclists and pedestrians. The Cambridge City Council has a clear policy regarding the uses of bikes. It regularly conducts surveys, and aims to prioritize cycling as the first mode of transport. The Cambridgeshire city council also considers this a real issue, and is fighting against city congestion by providing some more infrastructures such as the park and riding systems. A Solex is combination of a bike and a moped, and is also visually appealing. This paper thus proposes the use of the Solex with the conviction that the vehicle has the potential to start a real trend.
