I’d consider this a win-win. Billy would probably disagree. – Ms. Fix-It
Favorite Comment: Fixer Paddy says, “This isn’t a fail, this is a win. You see, this was never intended for use as a lawn mower. This was Dad’s brainchild for avoiding mowing the lawn. Under the pretense of supposedly building a device for Billy to mow the lawn with, it took Dad all day and several six packs of beer to build this thing. By the time he was done, it was after Billy’s bed time, and Dad was too drunk to mow the lawn. Mission accomplished!”

Looks like a nice riding lawnmower to me !
One Afternoon Little Billy was sitting looking at junk in the Shed… Hmmm if I put this this and that together.. I bet I can mow all of my sisters Barbie’s before she gets back from Emmas
Be sure to wear your steel toes shoes now Billy, and I don’t want you chasing Sparky anymore like last time.
Is this Edward Scissorhand’s bike???
hahahahahah…….nice one
Is this the Sports version of the Emower? If you want to block the sun, you have to keep paddling at a reasonable speed. Flying grass will protect and cover you. Untill you sneeze it off that is.
it even comes complete with training wheels!
See- now that’s a kludge that’s asking for another – a modification to replace the blades with a cylinder of ice & cream, so that as you ride around, the ice cream is churned.
Unless the trailing wheel pivots, it will be very hard to steer.
Fail. Unless Billy’s 8 foot tall, I don’t think he would be able to sit and reach the handle on that thing…
I was thinking the same thing unless Billy is an orangatang(sp?)
lol maybe he is!

*Hic* I’m too mow to *hic* drunk the lawn.
Where did you find out about this? (or did you just make it up).Oh he was drunk? That explains alot.
LOL. _

Uh-oh. I lost the spaces. D:
someone’s gonna lose a toe.
Do Not
Fear the
Reaper
Nice!
Ouch! I foresee an unfortunate re-creation of “Mad Men” one afternoon when Billy gets high on ice cream and runs over the neighbor kid.
lol high in icecream
What troubles me here is that there’s no way somebody could steer, pedal and sit in this at one time, since the handles, pedals and seat are so far apart. You’d be folded up like a stapler.
Nah, it’s a recubent mower. It’s more ergonomic for little Billy, despite the lack of back. It’s also more aerodynamic as well. Anything to get the lawn done quickly.
Not pictured: Booster rocket.
Looks like either a for sale sign on the front or an incident report
Great idea, even if this version isn’t quite right. I’d want a multi-speed drive on it. 1 speed bikes are geared too high for anything but flat & smooth surfaces. For my yard, I’ll stick w/ my Elec Trac.
It’s a quad bike.
Billy’s dad’s kludge is threefold. Billy mows the lawn. Billy gets exersise. And, billy now cuts his own toenails.
lolz :] whats billys daddy’s name billy bob joe??!!
Soon, the tall grass will be gone with the Schwinn!
I just don’t see the bicycle mower derby for the kids really catching on.
A little know moment in history – 1931, Inventor Dilbert Backslider, Mobley, Ga unveils his prototype “Riding Lawnmower” – He went to his grave never understanding why his invention didn’t catch on.
Every one of little billys friends were mad,they weren’t aloud to ride death on weels,and so were the nabers there goes another one of there cats
This is definately a win-win because now billy can run over the neighbor’s cat and call it an accident.
