That's great! I guess I'll have to dig through my computer for the pics of a Rasta guy who came to town about 6-7 months ago. He was riding a 650 lb mobile home bicycle! It used to be around 800 lbs when he had the bathroom attached. I'm not kidding about this. The vehicle had only 2 wheels but the driveline consisted of something like 7 deraileurs and a flywheel. The rear wheel was a car wheel and the front was from a moped. He could make this thing go like 20 mph over almost any terrain. He wanted to modify my Greenspeed tandem to have this set-up. (no way, Jose!)
But I must admit, his rig did cause me to think more about such an application.
I'll post some pics (probably sometime AFTER Christmas)
