    Looks like a lot of fun but the current price of 9,500 euro's which is currently $11,852 is a bit rich for me. There is also tax, duty, and shipping to be paid as well.

    California law prohibits the use of bicycles on sidewalks. They are to follow the same rules are cars. Why should this be any different?

    You must mean this ingenious device. What a beautiful country that is to allow such a thing. Alas, when I was there a couple months ago it was raining and we had to cancel our reservation.
