MZ_AltTransportation-Badge.gifTim Wicks sent me a bundle of images of some propane vehicles that he and a buddy built — a couple of campground runabouts that fold and stow below their RVs, and a propane-powered mini-bike.

I asked Tim for some additional details but have yet to hear back. I wanted to get this post up during Alt.Transportation month. Maybe he can fill us in on some background for these images in the comments, if he reads this. Oh, Tim…?
