Delete this. Didn't mean to post twice.

Tried it for a bit but the fiddle player kept falling off , the saxophonist ran out of breath and the drummer was attacked by a motorist for banging on his car roof.

Not practical I'm afraid

Oh, and a road rager shot the pianist

No

You need to be aware of your surroundings, especially on the road. If your propelling yourself at higher speeds than walking, you need to be aware of what is going on
