I saw one of these at Borough Market - I've not seen one before, has anyone tried it?

    We hired one when working in Frankfurt. Was a great laugh. Spent the morning (we started at 11am) on that - drank a keg of beer between 10 of us, then retired to an irish pub to watch the rugby. Perfect way to spend the day.

    They do not go up any sort of incline though and they are paranoid about snapping the chains. We had to get out and push at several points.

    Does look a good laugh. Would make a great family ride.
