Now -- you can reduce the current, and thus increase the
distance or reduce the gauge by stepping the voltage up high and
reducing it with a transformer on the bike -- but that would add enough
weight to neutralize the benefits.


AH! But if you put the transformer (and wire) in a TRAILER then the
bicycle will stay the same weight!!1 In fact, running with that logic,
if the cyclist himself were to be seated in the trailer then the
system would be even MORE efficient!!!!


Of course! But the robotic controls and the associated processing equipment
would surely outweigh the person pedaling the bike.


NO NO NO!! You attach airfoils to the robotics to provide LIFT!!
