looks like something from the red Green show! Except there's no duct tape!

I dunno - that chain looks awfully rusty. I bet it's a bear to pedal!

I think I've seen other examples of this, and every time I see one, all I can think is how much work it would be. Like riding up a very long hill - and the scenery just doesn't change. Especially with the drive chain and the mower blades consisting mostly of rust.

I wonder if that machine actually has cut a blade of grass. For the record, I hope so.

I saw this on some show about modifying inventions. Can't remember the name. It didn't work really well because the weight of your body on the wheels of the lawnmower make it extremely difficult to move forward.

Well then, I guess you'd just have to convert a bent instead :p

I'd guess, no matter what you'd have to have a flat lawn to use it. Push mowers are hard enough to move uphill on foot.

That's totally true. My yard doesn't have a flat spot on it.

But think what legs I would have!
