I expect you will have a very hard time outdoing the bicycle.


It's a lofty goal but within the realm of possibility, given enough time, resources and effort.


Give it better tires and suspension for dirt roads and you've got a winner!


Suspension is properly handled by using the right tires. Anything else adds significantly to weight and cost, and detracts from durability and pedaling efficiency. Also, the existing infrastructure for parts and manufacture has to be considered. I agree that it's a great goal, but those machines have been evolving for a long time.
