A bar stool that enables you to pedal around the bar without fear of losing your seat.

Two pedals attached at the bottom of the bar stool which when rotated with your feet drives a small chain, in turn will set the the four little wheels into motion which are attached to the each of the four bar stool legs...steering,nah you're in a bar.

Plans on building your own (with steering) [cowtown, Oct 05 2004, last modified Oct 17 2004]

       Alcoholic beverages, darts, and now ... vehicles! But I would argue in favor of cheap remote control car style steering. Pedal forward to proceed on course, pedal backward to turn to desired heading.

       lol   

       My son just said u could use one of those stools that also has a little back and sides and steer with the arm rest.   

       of course it would lead to jousting, polo and rugby matches all on stools. It could get messy. The more classy establishments will have small electric motors on board their stools.   

       (let ub do the obligatory stools pun??)

       Segway technology would help, here. Fewer spillages.   

       I think you did, [peter2].

       can you lot pedal a little quieter? I have such a hangover.

po, May 05 2003
  

       Absolutely silly, and very cute. It's like unicycle for the lazy. +

       Nice link, ato_de

       I'd prefer adult versions of baby walkers. Complete with drink holders and wireless internet connections.

waugsqueke, May 05 2003
  

       oh brilliant, waugs. I love that.

po, May 05 2003
  

       And everything tethered to them, with very strong lanyards, so the users don't lose (losers don't use) things.

UnaBubba, May 05 2003
  

       I see the bar-stool racing frenzy taking over at bowling alleys everywhere.

RayfordSteele, May 05 2003
  

       Just have all the bar stools on conveyor belt that makes its way along the bar, into the bathroom, and then back to the end of the bar, ad infinitum.

       you don't buy beer, you rent it.

po, May 06 2003
  

       I've long suspected it was recycled.

UnaBubba, May 06 2003
  

       The good thing about a unicycle is, who's gonna steal it?   

       And could I have some grease over here, bartender? My stool is squeaking. (Just...never mind, peter2).

//I've long suspected it was recycled. - UnaBubba//
's why I drink dark brews. You see, it *sip* Oh My Gawd!

       You can have races at various stages of intoxication.

oatcake, May 07 2003
  

       I hate to be the lone disenter on this one but, for the love of cr*p, this sounds like an absolute liability nightmare. This is like a Segway marketing plan (cite: UnaBubba)drawn from the addled mind of a meth addict (not to impugn your creativity, sense of mirth, or general good character, skinflaps). waugsqueke seems to be a little closer to the mark. someway to inhibit wanton acts of battery and unspecified maimings.

pablopk, May 07 2003
  

       I think it's exactly what the HB is about. The words "contributory negligence" spring to mind, in relation to the public liability aspect.

UnaBubba, May 07 2003
  

       How about a stack of liability waivers at each seat? Sign it before you drink!

       "If you can lie on the floor without hanging on, you're not drunk." (Dean Martin) What's the problem?
