Previous HUFF issues
Members will have access to many previous HUFF issues.
What kind of articles are we looking for?
Anything readers all around Australia can relate to and also have some bearing on human powered vehicles.
Personal adventures involving Human Powered Vehicles, stories about how you acquired bikes and what you think of them, technical stories about making and improving recumbents and other cycles and what worked for you are all great for HUFF.
“Human Powered Vehicles” covers all sorts of transport including pedalled and rowing boats, human powered aircraft and human powered vehicles that run on rails.
Also of interest are applications of alternative human powered machines to everyday tasks,
ie: juice making, water pumping and electricity generation.
Relevant book reviews and stories passed on from obscure corners of the internet are also gratefully received.
