Power On Self Test: Mowercycle

Work is a wonderful idea, but not all wonderful ideas will work.

Can I get a CalTrain bike car tag for this? [via Inhabitat]

I remember seeing one of these in the film GIZMO.

In my neighborhood are a lot of reel mowers, even more bicycles but anyone seen operating that would receive an immediate tranq. dart in the neck and trip to the loony bin.

I personally think its a wonderful variant of the powered sit down version. It could use a great deal of stylistic changes however.

If either of my yards were bigger than 15'x15' I'd totally rock this, haters be damned.

I recently saw somebody try this out on the Travel Channel, IIRC.

It worked, but it was difficult.

I'd think it would be more practical and more efficient as a trailer which attached to a fully functional bicycle...

If the pedaling also powered the mower portion, I bet it would work better.
