Winter seems to be just around the corner. This Pedal Powered Snowplow seems to be a good idea, say goodbye to the sore lower back and have fun driving the plow through the fresh powder. Only problem I can think of is the plow seems to be quite bug and may not handle anything deep. "One day while watching the show “Monster Garage” he was inspired. He immediately turned off the TV and started sketching some ideas for the snowplow. Within four months of working after hours and week-ends Blake had a functional machine. After some cutting, welding and bolting Blake had a frame with wheels that he could sit on. Even better, it worked! The joke in the Blake household was Blake calling his wife to make sure she didn’t shovel the driveway before he got home so he could plow it with his invention. " Via: Bicycle Design |

Ok first off why is it that someone always comments that this is a bad idea… Second if you are shoveling snow you are going to sweat anyways…. it takes effort to get an end result, unless you have the money to just grab your phone and have someone with a truck come plow your drive.

why this is a bad idea ? Because instead of spending energy on shoveling this guy spend energy on moving hiss butt + shoveling. so think about. And by the way did you ewer bike in winter ? it like or worse then biking on sand

Those aren’t any bike tire’s I’ve ever seen, he’s also using the big muscles in his legs, not the little one’s in his back and arms. Seems like a good idea though unpractical
