John MacTaggart, CEO of Ohio-based Pterosail Trike Systems, is sailing his way from San Diego, California to Saint Augustine, Florida. The cross-country trip is an event to bring attention to Pterosail.
Pterosail Trike Systems are hybrid trikes that use cycling, sailing and solar for power. The cross-country adventure began on June 28th and is expected to take four to six weeks to complete. Regular updates, including blog entries, photos, and videos, are posted on the Pterosail website.
Implications - This fifty-state, street-legal Pterosail is the epitome of comfort, safety, and stability. Do not be surprised if you begin to see more of these on the roads of a city near you.
