AM is a loose confederation of like-minded individuals from around the planet, who want to use the evolution of transport design and provision, using human and solar energy, as a means to create mobility systems that are safe and efficient, and accessible to all, and as healthful, beautiful, unique, and ubiquitous as possible, as soon as possible.

Maybe it is impossible…
