Charlie –
Very cool idea relative more relaible safer bicycles. I’m intrigued. One point of consideration is the human factor. Our refineries have had issues with people hurting themselves on bikes in the refinery because they did not have the physical skills to handle them, or were not attired properly, and were hurt in falls. As a result, many sites do not allow their use; others have changed policy back and forth over the years. In the latest policy at some sites, extensive training and qualification is required to become a “licensed and qualified” rider, IF you meet the usage need requirements (frequency, location, job type, etc).
