10314Rumour has it this guy works for Argos... Dunno whether its true tho
Preston Haulage
310Love it. I'm getting one of those. Do you think I'll GIT insurance for that?
Long Services
10314At a fiver per drop this guy got a bit too greedy
Long Services
10314You don't need GIT cos there's an inhouse one you can sign up to... simples

310I could even take fare paying passengers too.

3617I 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?
Russell Group
3617In fact its not virgin.. But some asian outfit on edgeware road.. And loads of them as well.. With music to go..

10314Splitting 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"

310I like your idea of adding another wheel. It makes load carrying much easier
Long Services
10314Ha ha don't... We're all guilty of giving someone ideas

1333I prefer this kind of 'bike'...
I had the pleasure of discovering this whilst on a training course in Germany.

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!

10314Saw one of those by London bridge a couple of months back... brilliant
Preston Haulage
310I wonder how the police view peddling while on that thing?
Long Services
10314And yes Gary, 7days... Unless...
Long Services
10314I would say the ploice would find it tricky viewing anything if they were on that thing... lol

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!
Long Services
10314Very 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
Hughes Services
1333Nice one! A stool for stools!
