A fine industrious citizen with a good capitalist idea.

I hope he is succesful, it ads character to the downtown area.

It seems that he did his homework as far as getting the permits and such. I hope he makes a bundle.

I think they are cool and will add character, but I would feel completely guilty sitting on my butt while someone else pedaled me around. Especially if it is within a tolerable walking distance.

A little cash and generous tip will go a long way in alleviating any guilt! Besides it'll give you time to actually survey and see what a nice city we actually live in. So many times we're in a rush to get from one place to another we miss out on some of the nice architectural details and things of that nature in Detroit.

Enjoy the ride!

I like the idea of this thing, but.....

I assume that this thing will be using the street, not the sidewalks.... YIKES! I wouldn't like to be on that thing in the Campus Martius roundabout!

Can you bring a tree branch and whip him if he's not going fast enough for you?

I'd have to observe this for a while before I decided to go for a spin. I'm afraid of driving around certain areas of downtown in my car, let alone something that's going to leave me with a snowballs shot in hell of surviving if it was struck by a car.

I've known Michael Rosemond personally, and wish him well in this endeavor.

Haven't seen Gabe since he was a tyke, cannot wait to chase one of these buggies down while I'm out running.

Hope he steers clear of the potholes.
