I think the only time I would use one of these is if I was out in town totally bolloxed, missed the last tube home and not wanting to pay for a cab. Might be quite a laugh.
Like the time I was out with the wife and she wanted to go in a rickshaw, it seemed like such a good idea at the time. Especially when I convinced the driver to let me have a go, pissed out of my head and crashed it straight into a limousine on The Strand. Tried to escape but the burly Welsh driver grabbed the bike. Not so fast mate in a deep Welsh accent. Quick as a flash, the Mrs, who is blessed with an amazing talent to mimic any accent started talking in Welsh. He was won over after about 5 minutes and we scarpered off laughing.
This sort of thing they will probably be used for :)
