I passed (eventually) a pedibus on the Kings Road, Fulham this afternoon. It seemed a very good idea.
Almost pollution free, cheap to run, no problem with drink-drive limits. It's all plusses and no negatives.
What could be better?

surely you would still get done for drink driving if you were steering though so whats the point
its like women wearing stupid uniforms like nurses gear in a local hen party do,just what is the point????

I'm sure there's a hint of Victor Meldrew about Zero, now he has more time on his hands... :-)

I'll let you know when I stick my foot in a dead hedgehog.

I understand you can only be done for drink driving a motorised vehicle and I doubt if the owners would let this loose in the hands of revellers, so I presume whoever's steering it is sober.
Nothing wrong with women dressing up, they seem to try and outdo each other in the minimilistic stakes. It keeps us happy drinkers happy. As for when the local sixth formers break for the summer..............
Chill Bb, have a drink. Stroppy customers today? If you were a woman I'd say you need a patch. ;>)

"To date the distance record in one cycling session for the Pedibus is 44km from Windsor to London. This was achieved in 5 hours 54 minutes."
Looks like fun. However, that's an average of just under 7.5km/h, or 4.6mph, or only slightly quicker than walking pace :(

The thing did seem to be very low geared.
To anyone of a non-grumpy persuasion, it did look to be good fun, pedestrians were enjoying the spectacle too!

May have started out more briskly than that, but slowed down as the cocktail/dinner/wine and cheese party got under way and ended up meandering hesitantly along with much laughter and people falling off to amuse the others.
It's a graceless object, but I do like the idea of a moving dinner party gliding noisily down the King's Road. You'd have to be young and a bit of an exhibitionist though.

>> It's a graceless object,
As BBD seems to have the day off...
It can only be tolerated if its powered and piloted by naked nubile young girls.
|
Did somebody mention naked girls???
I saw one of the paedobuses decked out like a proper bar with pumps, optics and a sign but I can't remember what country I was in at the time.

How much (to buy) are they?

I don't think they can be bought legally in this country gastropod. And even in places where naked girls are on sale, the price these days can be truly shocking for a winsome example.
