[Yak] The 'pedal powered' thread.

[Jeff Gruttz]

And certainly all loyal Bike Friday enthusiasts have heard of:

 

1.)  Pedal powered rock bands:

S of the (N American) 49th parallel.

 

. or ..

On this side (N) of the 49th parallel.

 

.. and .

 

2. For the cycling enthusiasts who think they have everything - there's the
pedal powered compost turner:

Fast forward to the last 30 secs. for the unexpected 'turn of events', so to
speak. Why would someone do that? It's not my idea of a good time. Can a
Samsonite (or Carlton?)  suitcase / travel trailer double as a compost
barrel?

 

Thanks, John S. Allen, for kicking off this somewhat off-topic but
entertaining discussion!
