You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

| quote = vehicle, ''n.'' 6. A means of conveyance provided with wheels or runners and used for the carriage of persons or goods; a carriage, cart, wagon, sledge, or similar contrivance. 7. a. Any means of carriage, conveyance, or transport; a receptacle in which anything is placed in order to be moved.))</ref> The main methods of using human power to propel a land vehicle are some kind of [[Bicycle drivetrain systems|drivetrain]]; pushing laterally against the ground with a wheel, skate, or ski that simultaneously moves forward; by pushing against the ground directly with an appendage opposite to the direction of travel; or by propeller. Human-powered land vehicles can be propelled by persons riding in the vehicle or by persons walking or running and not supported by the vehicle.

Many human-powered land vehicles can also be gravity-powered land vehicles, and vice versa, although some of the latter are quite awkward to use as the former. For example: [[street luge]]s, [[gravity racer]]s, and [[snow board]]s.

==Types of ground contact==
There are four main ways to support the weight of a human-powered land vehicle and its contents: rolling contact as with wheels; sliding contact as with skates, skis, or runners; intermittent contact as with stilts; and no contact at all as with anything carried. Additionally, these four methods may be combined as in wheelbarrows.

===Wheeled===
The most common wheeled human-powered land vehicle is the [[bicycle]] in all its forms. Other notable examples include:
((div col|colwidth=30em))
*[[Balance bicycle]]s and [[dandy horse]]s
*[[Handcar]]s, and [[draisine]]s
*[[Hotchkiss Bicycle Railroad]] and [[shweeb]]
*[[Inline skate]]s, [[roller skate]]s, and [[roller ski]]s
*[[Kick scooter]]s, [[kickbike]]s, [[knee scooter]]s, and [[square scooter]]s
*[[Rickshaw]]s, [[baby transportation|prams]], [[stroller]]s, roller buggies and [[Shopping cart|buggies]]/[[Shopping trolley (caddy)]]
*[[Skateboard]]s, [[longboard (skateboard)|longboard]]s, [[Penny board]]s, [[snakeboard]]s, [[caster board]]s, [[Freeline skates]], [[Surfskate]] (or Carveboard)
*[[Tricycle]]s, [[Quadracycle (human-powered vehicle)|quadracycle]]s, and [[velomobile]]s
*[[Trikke]]s
*[[Unicycle]]s
*[[Wheelchair]]s and [[baby walker]]s
*[[Heel Skate]]s

==Types of propulsion==
There are three main methods of using human power to propel a land vehicle: some kind of [[Bicycle drivetrain systems|drivetrain]] that turns one or more drive wheels; pushing laterally against the ground, to the side relative to the forward motion of the vehicle, with a wheel, skate, or ski that simultaneously moves forward; by pushing against the ground directly with an appendage, such as a hand or a foot, opposite to the direction of travel, or by pushing against the air with a propeller.<ref>((cite web
