CouchBike: a pedal-powered rolling couch.
From their webpage (www.bikeforest.com/cb/cb.php):
"It was an old leatherette loveseat. Our frame was built around it, and Eivind and I were perched on top of it. We sat side by side on the cushions, our legs extended in front to spin the pedals. I steered the bike with a tiller linked to the two front wheels on either side of the couch."
The video of their exploits makes me want to build my own. What a fun (and comfy) idea. Sure it's slow, heavy, and your butt probably sticks to the leather, but what hey: Why not?!
