Somebody is renting those out in New York City (or was...I saw it on a TV news/magazine). One person steers and the rest pedal. It's meant to be a taxi kind of thing, or for sight-seeing. I think they're kewl!

I've seen them on the streets of manhattan. Some kind of tourist thing. Makes sense. I'd rather ride a 7 person bike with my family to see the city than a stinky old bus!

There was a bike like that on the Amazing Race Family edition. A family of four had to pedal one lap around a speedway track somewhere down south. Once people got going it seemed like they had a good time.

I saw something about those too, some time back. Something about it being a sociable bike, where you can sit and chat with one another while riding, maybe hold a mobile seminar. Of course, somebody has to keep their eyes on the road!!! :eek:

well, in most families, there's someone like me who can't take their eyes OFF the road whether driving or not!

But I'd be careful following those horse-drawn carriages around Central Park! :eek:

someone in Hawaii is selling it for $10k. That would be interesting to see it on the road, it would prob. cause an accident where i live.

I think it would be a good bonding tool for friends, family, and/or teams, but it looks a bit on the heavy side.

Can you imagine the roof rack for that thing??? Or a trunk rack? It'd flip my car over... That many people pedaling should make it super fast. :)
