If someone is interested , maybe there can be a thread about NON-MOTORIZED BOVs. In particular, I always thought about this bicycle idea with some ... what shall I say, there are better alternatives.
What I have in mind is a two wheel trailer/cart that you pull behind you will all weight on the wheels. Seems to me better alignment with your forward motion and more enenergy efficient than the bike.
The bik idea is better when you have a very narrow trail, but otherwise a cart seems to be better until someone convinces me otherise.
I believe if you do the math you'll find that a bike is more efficient. I can't find the like right now, but a bike is more efficient that walking, i.e. you expend less energy per length of travel. Walking and pulling a cart behind would use even more energy than just walking.
