Ken Evans and I swapped places one night with the drivers of 2 of these cyclos. We let them ride up front while we drove and provided the power. We got into a race down a very pot holed road as fast as we could go. It wasn't long before they were yelling they wanted out of that thing, cries which Ken and I ignored. The ride of their lives.
