    "you'll know pretty well early on, whether you're going to die or not"

    Rear wheel steering is cool. Look at the turning circle!

    Fork lifts are awesome. If your looking for slow with lots of practicality, very few things come close to a forklift.

    • Pallets - no problem
    • Large amounts of water in a container for cattle - easy peasy
    • Down Steep hills -exciting
    • Up Steep hills - you might start going backwards for no reason that you want to think about
    • Dublin to Galway - less than two days
    • If you make videos of it in use you can speed them up to make it seem exciting.
    Thats all I got for now :D

    Used to see this guy around Griffith Avenue all the time. Are there any advantages to this over a conventional bike?

    I hope that you can watch.

    Best Regards

    Michael Killian

    I see you fairly often along the coast as well.

    I think it looks pretty cool. You'd think there would be a bit of a market for something like this. It is a novelty, but it's a good novelty. I hope things work out for you.
