Green is elegant

I have noticed how elegant bicycles are. Many Green modes of transport are elegant, if by green I mean 'powered by wind, sun, gravity, water, or one's own muscles', in contrast to being powered by fossil fuel or coal.

Think about sail boats, surfers, runners, bicycles, and horses.
