Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Yikes.

From the FAQ:

Is there a weight limit?

The YikeBike can comfortably take a rider (and personal effects) weighing up to 100kg. Beyond this weight we do not warrant performance.
You're in luck.

It is a powered urban commuting device and quite ingenious at that I might add.

Pretty nifty. You can get the weather protection, cool-factor, expense, and safety of bicycling without the annoying fitness aspect.

Don't bring those to NYC - people will burn you at the stake the way things are heading.
