The explanation doesn’t make sense. They could just measure the shoulder width. Highways and roads are built to spec.

Would love to know how they maintain it, eg replacement parts.

I wonder if PA, OH, and other states with large Amish and Mennonite populations do something similar. Seems a thoughtful idea.

That embedded video threw me for a minute. I don’t associate Sheldon Brown with Toyota Tacomas but rather bicycle repair and nerdery.

How cool would it be if at some point they used one of the original electric Model Ts - perhaps with a bigger battery to achieve more than it's original 80 mile range.

As an aside: does anyone with a local dimming-based HDR display occasionally get dimming with the embedded videos?

Awesome story! I love hearing about surprising and interesting solutions.

I mean they could use a Fiat 500, or some other modern car...but what would the fun be in that?

Great story, and why not use them :)
