Maybe the strangest bike in history?

[Pestcontrol02]

Weirdest bike I’ve ever seen.
The add states..
”This is the only tricycle that accommodates seven adults and facilitates close-knit conferencing during joyrides”
$20k Canadian if anyone is looking to joyride and confer at the same time..lol

That's the Cough Cold Covid Cycle (4C)

Could be hard to move. We rented a 6 person, 4 cranks, Surrey top, quadra cycle at a local park. Loaded it with 6 adults. Only 3 of us were pedaling and it was murder. Of course here in Florida the terrain is flat but it was still tough. We did it because one person in our party wanted to try it out as they were considering buying one. They changed their mind

The copy on the above ad sounds like some of the stupid things I have seen companies and institutions (school system, church leadership meetings and etc.) do as icebreakers at seminars and meetings. Those activities are always so predictable, everyone just humors them and hopes the activity ends soon.

Those are the worst. We had one on Jekyll island and it was horrible.

Around here, the Heart and Stroke Foundation runs a yearly fund raiser using this bad boy

They call it THE BIG BIKE for some reason. Only seats 30.

I lived on Sydney st it use to go past my house @MattiThundrrr can I agree you really have to see it in person to realize how massive it is

Seems overly complex for a portable disc golf basket.

Invented by artist Eric Staller in 1991. Since redone and manufactured to be used as rentals everywhere (flat).

Another of his designs (Bubble head) briefly appeared in the movie Men In Black.

That's nothing. We've had a version of that in Savannah for years now. But your red one is missing one key ingredient. ALCOHOL ! Since you can go around Historic Savannah with a "ToGo" cup, and the driver isn't drinking in this case, we have quite a few of these full of drunk singing bachlorette parties riding around our squares.

I’ve seen those bar bikes in Louisville Kentucky also, they look fun.

Even though by definition a bike/bicycle is a two wheeled machine. Only a group of medical professionals could twist that abortion into a bike.
Twenty nine people working their asssess off to peddle one guy where he wants to go.
And he is using a communication device while operating a livery vehicle with a full compliment of passenger/slaves.
What a scam!

This abortion would be pretty much useless without a conference table for everyones tablets and coffee, a power supply and a dependable internet connection.
But what do I know?
I know $20k is anout $19,980 more than it will bring for scrap.
I do wonder though, what it would look like being ridden off a cliff. My mom was always worried I would do that for some reason.
Maybe it was the ramp I was building in my high school years to jump the Amtrak.

True, this could be only the tip of the iceberg.
