All Human-Powered Travel Modes

Ways of travelling on one's own muscle power, by foot, bicycle or paddle. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the mode cycling, walking or canoeing. It excludes animal-powered and motor travel. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members. It is one of the groups under the Human-Powered Mode subcategory of the Transport atlas, which has its own browse page listing every group and member.
