This looks like the most fun! (Except for all the crossing of the double yellow line, which is just foolish) I’ve often thought about building on of these.

    They look just a cat’s hair away from being one of these http://www.flickr.com/photos/tslarsen/1297079614/ .

    Not that there’s anything wrong with that if it’s your thing.

    Sometimes to help me fall asleep, I will engineer things in my head. An Adult Big Wheel is one of those exercises. But every time I do that, I get stuck on the fact that straight pedaling a front wheel would require too much force, so I need to introduce some sort of gearing for mechanical advantage, and next thing I know I envision a recumbent, and I am like “sigh”.

    Are recumbents cool?

    It’s weird how much the theme music for this clip is ripping off Green Day.
