Bike car video
I came across this on youtube. A short video of people making a 4 peson bikecar. I think it is gassavers worthy.

Someone near my house was selling 2 old bikecars for $150. They were really beat up and would need many parts replaced. It was cool to see it for sale because that isn't something you see everyday.

The Kyoto Cruiser reminds me of the "Wild Wacky Action Bike" shown on the TV show South Park. Just look at it!

...and the B.O. Hence the need for 'aero-cooling'
