I was surprised when I watched the YouTube video, at the rate of speed he seemed to obtain, with only his own rowing.

8-12 mph (just a guess since no speed is shown), doesn't seem bad with just one rower (and he's no athlete in his prime).

OK, drag race, 1/4 mile, for pink slips. Souped up Sedgeway vs. Human Powered Car with 2 rowers!

My brother had a kiddie car like this in 1960(ish)

It will never catch on in LA. It takes two hands to row. How are you supposed to hold the gun?

Don't they need a seat for the coxswain?

How about a guy with a drum?

Seriously,

No seatbelts, No rollbar. Too big for a bike path and not street legal to play in traffic. Where do they expect this to be used?
