Speed is actually discouraged. And factory floors are typically very smooth and dead level, so weight makes negligible difference. I think industrial bikes are cool.

Replace them with payload capacity, durability, and "heavy duty". Yep. I've worked in plants with industrial bicycles. Ditto. I got tried moving boxes of junk using a push cart or hand truck. I requested a fork lift, and instead got an ancient tricycle that someone fished out of storage. Incidentally, it probably weighed over 50lbs and had solid rubber tires. Do keep in mind, the objectives are much different from typical bicycling. Speed is actually discouraged. And factory floors are typically very smooth and dead level, so weight makes negligible difference. Yep. That's why I mumbled something about forgetting about weight, aerodynamics, etc. The floors were concrete and quite smooth. However, one still had to watch out for power cables, door thresholds, obstacles, and debris placed in the way. The smooth floors worked against me when I was learning how to corner on two out of three wheels. Wheee... I think industrial bikes are cool. In fact, I'm baffled that bikes aren't used more - by U.S. mailmen, for example. One had to pass a safety exam and operation test to be qualified to drive a forklift. http://www.ivestraining.com/forklift-resource-center/common-forklift-questions-answers-united-states/ The company also paid extra for insurance for every forklift driver. On the other hand, bicycles had no such requirements. Therefore, I suspect it's a status thing. Minimum wage warehouse employees (like me) got the bicycles. Higher status employees got the golf carts and forklifts. Safety might also be an issue as management failed to appreciate my cost saving efforts when I appeared wearing roller skates. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
