• Capable of carrying a keg of beer I used to own a beercycle, until the tragic accident.
• Hey! Git away from there! I wanna steer this thing!
• cf the 20 passenger Busycle, which is like a flatbed truck with a lot of outwardly-facing seats on the bed, each with a crankset that runs a chain to a common drive shaft under the bed. The site only has in-construction pictures, none that I could find of the finished product but there's a shot of it at the Boston 375th Anniversary parade where I saw it in action.
• So is this thing beer powered? And what's the cost per gallon vs miles/gal?
• Hyperbike.
• Wow. The only thing worse would be if riders had to make a pelvic-thrusting motion to power the bike.
• Well, you could just do that anyway, if you felt you weren't getting enough attention.
• I hereby rechristen it "Napoleon Dynabike"
