The Rhoades Car

Here at Kellane Farm we try to be as environmentally friendly as possible: we compost; recycle; only owned one car for six years (sorry - we now have two); Kirk rides his bike to work unless the weather is terrible; etc...and now we are the proud owners of a "Rhoades Car." For those of you who have no idea what this is - it is a fancy bicycle for multiple riders...or to quote the website (http://www.rhoadescar.com/) it is a "4-wheel bike that drives like a car." The version that we purchased has four seats and a battery-powered motor. Why the motor you may ask? Well, even though it is a four seater, only the two people in the front have pedals...the two in the back just sit there and relax (and create dead weight)!! So, we need the extra boost from the battery to get up some of the mega hills in our town. Below are some photos:
