Yikes! I think that would be especially dangerous on to days roads. Admirable goal for a great cause though. Now, the question is: Where do you get replacement parts IF that 109 yr old machine should break down somewhere??

I remember in Lansing for the Olds Centennial in 1997 there were several curved dashes around and one hit a pothole on the city street and damaged the front hub (I think) - well, Oldsmobile was still around then and they actually took the car to one of the Olds machine shops and fabricated / machined whatever it was that needed to be repaired...
