Your new trike has arrived, it stands in front of your house, shiny, silver, and sturdy upon it's three wheels.You go to it, and place yourself upon the hinged platform that rests in the middle of the trike, you slot your feet into the adjustable foot holders, with the steering brakes that independently control the front wheels. You lock them into place at a point that you believe should be appropriate.Lying back, you bring the easy-to adjust shoulder straps over you to meet the locking point on the adjustable chest harness.You place your hands close to your head, which rests upon a comfortably padded support, and find the gear selector within easy grasp of your right hand, and the rear brake to your left.Using your abdominal muscles, you pull yourself up, all the while secured to the bike. As you rise, the motion extends the piston situated below your head. Which is connected, in a fashion similar to the drive piston on a steam train, to the rear wheel. Lowering yourself causes the wheel to start to rotate, and you slowly make your way out of your drive.Only a couple of thousand reps, and you'll be at work in no time.....-- kaz, Sep 30 2009 <strikethrough font>bike</s> insert trike.
Awesome otherwise.-- RayfordSteele, Sep 30 2009 I prefered the word bike, but for the sake of accuracy...-- kaz, Oct 01 2009 This is going to get most people about 30 metres before they stop, get out of the Torturetron (that's how to market it to personal trainers, BTW) and walk wherever they were headed.-- UnaBubba, Oct 01 2009 Disorientation in traffic would be a problem.-- pertinax, Oct 01 2009 Can I contract out the marketing to the multi armed corporate giant that is BubbaCo? GrasbyTech Industries just don't have the resources.-- kaz, Oct 01 2009 //Disorientation in traffic would be a problem// Sounds like you need the pull-up-bar version-- pocmloc, Oct 01 2009 As soon as I've finished the current branding and ad campaign for the property development group (3200 house and land packages); the branding campaigns for the following, all of which are in process at the moment... a national supermarket chain (over 800 stores); an associated national rural supplies chain (530 stores), 2 federal govt departments (400 and 230 offices respectively); 4 tyre and auto chains (total of 1700 outlets); 11 motor vehicle brands (about 2350 locations), financial services conglomerate, cinema group (70 locations) and design up a logo, marketing campaign and a series of album cover proposals for a rock band. After that I'm due to ghostwrite a biography for a multimillionaire entrepreneur and edit another on "Pine Species as Bonsai in Subtropical Climates".
I can fit you in after that, [kaz].
Yes, I'm serious... that's my current workload. Now you guys know why I never seem to sleep.-- UnaBubba, Oct 01 2009 Awesome, I'll have the paperwork drawn up at once and have one of my staff crunch it over to you.-- kaz, Oct 01 2009 I can probably squeeze it in before Christmas, if you write me some basic copy that I can expand upon and send us a few dozen HiRes action shots. Use yousendit.com if mailbox limitations won't allow you to send large files.
What sort of budget do you have in mind?-- UnaBubba, Oct 01 2009 Oh I don't know. I want to make sure that everyone wants one. I reckon a couple of high profile celebrity endorsements should do the job, how much do you envisage that costing?-- kaz, Oct 01 2009 halfbakery
