    When you get to the other end, where do you park your pallet?

    Cheap and efficient transportation DOWN HILL that is I guess he has to hitch a ride for the return trip or Indiana Jones it with a whip snagging the back of a tram
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    All he needs to do, now, is add an electric motor and get a fishing pole to power it off the overhead line. He might want to add a bell, too, to warn pedestrians.

    That's called "Build a tram".

    I don't know which he enjoys more, the fun of the ride or the attention he gets from the pedestrians.
    Stupid is forever, ignorance can be fixed.

    I'd like to see some of the obvious collisions with pedestrians walking around staring at their phones. I'm with schuylergrace, It needs lights, brakes and a horn, this is definitely an ankle breaker to anyone stepping out in front of it and it would be entirely his fault.
