Sub Woofers.......

I like going to a concert and feeling the bass players notes and the drummers bass drum move my internal organs......but I hate sitting at home or in traffic and hearing 'thud'  'thud' 'thud' from some loser who listens to music with their bass level set to 10.

You can hire them at a special counter in shopping centres near me. What a bright spark idea that was! Now the place is full of them, roaring around, nearly running people over and then abusing them (this is mostly elderly 'gentlemen') and growling at you because they cant fit side by side in the aisle next to my trolley. *sigh*

I had no idea what you were talking about so had a look at google images, they are the weirdest looking things.

Are they for people unable to balance on 2 wheels?

One of the images is of one with a canopy built over it so it looks like a 3 wheeled car.

i find those gophers a pain too, some councils in melbourne have banned them from shopping precincts.

Yep with the leaf blowers. I am dead set certain my little town has the highest rate of the noisy buggers per capita of anywhere in the world.

That and mulchers

 yes 3 wheels, so it doesn't really handle like a motorcycle.  riding a bike is risky enough so you may as well ride a real one .

Devices that need to be made illegal.

Most are borrowed from a uni the user attends twice a week...................Richo.

i didn't answer the question sorry. i think the trikes are more stable at a halt, but less so on  the move.  maybe people with balance issues or something need the extra wheel .. i want to retract now i've thought of a use for them

Those battery operated scooter things old people drive should be banned.

They don't get it, they lost their licence because they were a danger on the roads so they drive these things on footpaths.

Nothing worse than one driving up behind you and yelling at you to move over but they forget the footpath is fenced both sides so no where for the person walking to go.

Then there are the ones who think parking across the shop door is a really good ide3a because they don't have to walk too far.

And what about the ones who decide to drive theirs inside a shop and can't turn the thing around to get back out (sure it would be easier for them to get out if I moved out of theie way but by this time I am fed up with them so lean heavily on my walking stick and pretend I can't hear them asking me to move.)

What about the bright sparks who drive theirs into the doctors, physios or pharmacy? A bunch of dummies, it doesn't occur to them that sick and injured people can be found in these places and a fool driving a fbs (*bleeping* big scooter) is a real nuisance in these places when mixed with all the walking frames.

All pedestrians shoud be allowed to carry road spikes to throw across the footpath if you see one coming too close to you.

Yes, I agree with you,,.....
