One of the bike shops here has one hanging from the roof but it's not for sale :(.

I saw one on the boardwalk in Santa Barbara a couple months ago.

Some guy rode one across Australia a few months ago.

Why not ride across Shetland too? Good roads up there.

They make them here in New York City, but the shipping costs may be prohibitive.
