For the folks who can't afford one with an engine, I saw three of those in Montreal yesterday... Cool looking but pretty sad really however if you are going to drink and drive, this is the safest way to do it as long as you ride on the sidewalks... Still pretty sad... (But stylish...) A little like driving a three wheelers with only two wheels... albeit one that is extremely wide.

Schwinn Bike had a kids model out like this a few years ago. It looked cool, but the kids didn't like it because they couldn't do tricks or have pals hang onto it. Now discontinued. This one looks adult sized. I guess if you are drunk and driving it, you won't have that far to fall.

I bet it would be hard to spine the tire on that monster

The kick stand weighs more than my bike.

Sure would be fun going down hill.

Wouldn't this be an awesome cruiser Dan?

It would be the talk of the town. You mention going downhill; imagine having to pedal that monster up a steep hill

And I thought the knobby tires on my mountain bike made for too much rolling resistance! Bet he couldn't catch me on my road bike.
Do you have to wear the black leather jacket and boots with those?

This would be a cool bike to put a motor kit on. I've seen some for sale on eBay.

Going uphill with that would be really asking too much!!

i have one in my backyard.... paid A$300 needs an overhaul, which would be about a weekends worth of elbow grease. Not exactly a fun ride, but the tyres are a dream to use. If only someone put to FAT tyres on the front of my mountain bike
