 What might be the Ultimate Exercise Bike.

when I saw this first time, they had some Olympic Cyclist give it a 'spin'........

NOBODY has the endurance to mow even a 1/4 acre lawn with this......

and it is too awkward a shape to be a 'wall hanger'........

Then I read it.
Need a month course of anabolic steroids to mow the lawn with that!

 What you picture is a good 'take' on the Yankee Ingenuity lawn mower.

The Sunkyung was a clean sheet design which didn't work any better.

Fun stuff and a FORTUNE for the first guy who gets it right.

 But is unfortunately, for the home user at least, an unsustainable model.....

Larger facilities of ACRES do need real machines, though.....

 It looked almost good, until they did a study on my lawn and concluded I would need FOUR of those largest robots, at around $5K ea.

At which point I thanked them and told my wife I am worth at least $20K... on a good day... once a week. :)

 ...if they compost you.

Add some yard trash and you can easily get hundred bucks or even more.

BTW, human composting is legal in some states.
