I wonder if this thing ever moves, unless they have a bunch of grown-ups pedaling. If you watch any of those bikes where there is an attachment for kids with pedals (I know there's a name for these things, which I'd know, if my kids weren't in their 20s--they didn't have these things when my kids were little), you notice they're never doing anything but looking around--certainly not pedaling!!! Maybe the Dutch are a little better. After all, Europeans have the same level of lifestyle although only using half the fossil fuels Americans use
