How long would you last alive on a bike like this?
Says the sales pitch...
"Street Legal As long as you don't put a motor on the Rhoades Car, it's use is governed by the same laws as a regular bike. It's legal to drive on any road that an ordinary bike travels." http://www.rhoadescar.com/store/nav-spec.htm Here's a picture... http://www.rhoadescar.com/jumpshow.htm So suppose you get your sweetheart on board and decide to take a sightseeing ride around our busy streets --perfectly legal-- how long would it take for some of those "beasts" out there to swallow you whole? I'm tempted to buy one. Definetely you are gonna need a T-shirt like this... "You never know what kind of hungry beast you may find in there. Oh, also take some water." http://www.zazzle.com/never_shirt-235120826900039020 WHY THE BANANA REVOLUTION? (many new styles) http://webspawner.com/users/bananarevolution |

If it's manoeuvrable and can be fitted with lights, etc, I see no reason why it shouldn't be used on a road. cheers, Luke -- Red Rose Ramblings, the diary of an Essex boy in exile in Lancashire http://www.shrimper.org.uk |

These have actually been around for quite a while. I had a similar vehicle
made by another manufacturer. In theory, it was a great idea, until one day I had to drive it off the nice, flat road that runs in front of my house. Even with the full-throttle calf power of myself and my wife, we couldn't get up even a tiny hill without gasping for breath and wailing in pain. Looking at this picture got me psyched to own one again. However, as Luke said, I think I would approach it as less of a local transporation vehicle and more of a toy to bring to the local park. The only problem is, it costs as much as that new two-seater automobile they're selling in India! |

Where's the point for a cyclist in trying to look like a car? *) And be probably almost as heavy as a car, have almost the drag of a car, ...
