    Oh same here, but even the loudest bicycle I’ve heard is at least as quiet as the quietest car I’ve heard, if only because of tire noise.

    I dream of a bike with a belt drive one day.

      Belt and shaft driven bicycles do exist. You just wouldn’t want to ride one, the loss of efficiency over chain requires you to make up for it with your legs and that is not fun.

      Enclosed chain bicycles are kind of a reasonable trade-off.
