EcoModder in Popular Science

It's nice to get a little coverage in print media. Here's the article:

You Built What?! The 200-MPG Aerocycle | Popular Science

A PopSci writer asked me about some of my mods while researching this article, but I think these four are much more interesting to look at than what I had at the time.

I posted this before when I saw it in print but couldn't find the link to the article.

I saw that, I'm glad they're taking notice. They've been on a green streak lately, probably found Ecomodder because one of their guys is building an eco dream home. I'm sure that EM has some Google clout.
