thanks Gary.

Excellent 😊😊

1:29:38 : I think Einstein is really interested in the quad velo.

I'm curious what kind of efficiency Katanga gets out of their chainless Pony4 (1:17:45)

Please tell me how I get more info on your ICE application; i am in Devon in the UK, so we are neighbours with ICE

Recycled pallet wood peeled ply to built wood composites for bikes without toxic chemicals or adhesives, and hemp spokes and you can dump all that metal garbage monetised in that horror fair, also wooden frame on fabric velomobiles with fine hemp fabric, weighing 15% less than toxic nanoplastic carbon fiber shells

While the sustainability, economic benefits, strength and durability of hemp spokes make them an interesting and *really* attractive concept, the reality is that there are a lot of challenges to go through before major use and acceptance happens - at least in use as cycling spokes:
Moisture Sensitivity: Hemp fibers are susceptible to moisture, which can weaken the material over time if not properly treated and sealed .
Inconsistent Quality: The quality of natural fibers can vary, leading to inconsistencies in the performance of hemp spokes .
Processing Complexity: Converting hemp fibers into a material suitable for bicycle spokes requires advanced manufacturing processes, which may be more complex and costly compared to traditional materials .
Limited Knowledge: The use of hemp in high-stress applications like bicycle spokes is relatively new, and there is limited research and development compared to traditional materials .
Higher Initial Costs: Hemp composites can be more expensive to produce initially, due to the need for specialized processing and treatment .
Regulatory Hurdles: There may be regulatory challenges associated with the use of hemp in consumer products, depending on the region .
Market Resistance: Consumers and manufacturers might be hesitant to adopt new materials without substantial evidence of long-term performance and reliability .

If you want to go that way, I think it's better to use bamboo as a frame material, with a air and water tight ventile cotton cloth stretched over the frame,, like a rigid airship. But you will still need industry for all the steel components and the bearings for the wheels and the rim, so might as well use steel spokes.
If you go down this train of thought you might as well ditch the concept of bicycle all together and go back to all wooden man or animal pulled wheel wagons. The only true sustainable method. And I am not saying that is a bad idea.
