I could even take fare paying passengers too.

I can see from the pics that they are not "bicycles", but having all that protection around me there would be no need to look like a power ranger, would make excellent crash protecters unless the consignment were from a a well known sheffield cutlery manufacterer then I would be very worried. To the point of my ass twitchin like a rabbits nose..

As for fare paying passengers doesnt Virgin offer that service?

Splitting hairs, bicycle, tricycle. If the addition of a wheel makes the unprofitable profitable then tricycle it has to be, surely. Maybe i should invest in a "hire a bike" service...

Sometimes you have to diversify and as the soothsayer has said in the past " i don't make the rules, i am merely led by market forces"

I like your idea of adding another wheel. It makes load carrying much easier alt text

Makes no odds where the keg is, someone stands in the middle and uses the pump to pour your drink. The 'bar' actually has a hole in front of each seat to place your plastic cup so you don't lose your beer!

You know, I did wonder about investing in something like that as I'd never seen it over here. I would have thought you'd have a nightmare trying to get that past Health & Safety in the UK. There was nothing to stop you falling off backwards onto the road!

Very true Scott, very true... All it needs to sort that little dilemna out tho is a stool with a back on... thus

And for those paying attention, you'll see that i have also solved another potential problem with the beer bike
