It was said to be very heavy and low (single?) geared so spun out at a slow speed but downhill runs were fun with all that momentum. The seating position was also reported to be poor!</p> <p>Sorry, don't have the link to this hearsay!</p> <p>Robert </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3696#post-38853 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 12:33:41 +0000 maninaskirt 38853@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The fellow with his back to the camera is the one driving/steering the contraption. The woman visible just to the left of him was travelling backwards. Any others then sit round the perimeter.</p> <p>In fact looking at the picture again, it seems to be a 7-seater... and the driver could have a clear view between the two directly in front of him. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3696#post-38833 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 09:48:19 +0000 wingpig 38833@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>There's been something with a similar configuration down at Cramond in previous years but I think it only had four seats.<br /> Which seat decides where the thing goes? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=3696#post-38832 Sun, 21 Aug 2011 09:40:36 +0000 maninaskirt 38832@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have recently been to SF and spotted a different means of transport around the city - a six-seater bicycle...</p> <p>All six people (if all seats were occupied) would help with the pedalling - hope the link works!</p> <p><a href="http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u350/rossangus/6-seatcycle.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i518.photobucket.com/albums/u350/rossangus/6-seatcycle.jpg</a></p> <p>(picture is a bit blurry as I was chasing after it at the time!) </p>
