old thread not old person
I did not know the thread was dead, this was the only thread I saw that was related to this topic.
I agree the Rhodes bike is crap and a design for seniors on their way to the pharmacy.
I will be using this bike to cruz around when I need to and the extra seating is needed for the kids. I can obviously see that going anywhere in the Rhodes design would be extremely uncomfortable. I plan on using the frame idea and adding suspension on it possibly springs, sort of like a buggy and beefy fat tires and a way cooler design.
Seeing that the Rhodes car has a $8,000 price tag I can build something much better than that for way cheaper. I do not have a price to spend in mind just an idea and that's good enough for me.
