Have you seen the new flatulence propelled model, sales have really taken off in San Francisco.
Easy modification from the seat, prolongs endurance times and reduces carbon emissions, Win Win!
A bigger ‘pain in the ass’ butt hey,,,
I have a three wheeled adult (grandma mobile) tricycle with a large basket in the back for running errands. I live in a verydeveloped area and am able to use low traffic residential neighborhood streets to get around. It’s great.

Just pulled my mountain bike out of the basement yesterday. Still have my Schwinn Varsity 10 speed from my youth also. I’ve got side baskets that I rigged up to quick attach to both bikes for trips to grocery store about a mile away. My younger neighbors think I’m nuts but I like the exercise. Those same neighbors drive to our neighborhood Walgreens which is only a block away. I’m not kidding. And I take side streets as I respect the consequences of doing battle with a 3000 lb. vehicle.

Tim – not that it really matters, but a lot of stuff being driven around by one person today weighs on the order of 5 to 6 thousand pounds. A big ‘Burban is about 6000 and the Excursion is somewhere around 7000 curb weight.
I still use my Raleigh Super Course on occation as well.

Joint pain? Seems like that would lead to more repetitive motion damage than a normal bike.

Undoubtedly a great technological innovation, but the treadles make the cyclist look douchier than usual. Might be a tough sell to the look-at-me spandex crowd.

Something tells me that it’s hard to beat the simplicity of a time-honored, traditional chain drive.

I ride my chain drive bike a lot, but that pedaling horseshit is for goofs. A 1000cc engine and a gearbox handled that problem!

Pricing most people away from a sale…

By next week all 250 democrat presidential candidates will be mandating these into the New Green Deal. And seriously, white lithium grease on your chain?

You will never see these things on the road, trust me.

Mike Bloomberg and whatahisname Mayor of Philadelphia will be buying these with taxpayer money for the bike lanes taking up parking spots all over the cities. OTOH, like many science inventions especially in medicine (MRI research techniques for example) this is a cure looking for a problem. Oh and lets not forget those electric bikes strewn all over the streets of some western towns. Life goes on but please save me from the spandex men.

Yes, but does it cure the rider of being a douchebag?

I just have to be careful to not overload groceries in my basket. The grocery store is less than 3 blocks away. Great way get exercise. Also, the tricycle design keeps me from tipping over.
A bargain at $4,000.
Still a pain in the ass for us drivers.
