Those Partybikes in Times Square...

... seem like a disaster waiting to happen.

They've been around for 16 months now. I was just wondering why they seem so much more prominent recently... turns out the guy who owns the company just bought 9 more in June, which means there are 16 of these things hurtling around city streets!

"Operators of the Partybike — a circular bicycle built for seven — say they're being unfairly targeted by cops, who've ticketed the big red tourist-mobiles more than 100 times in their 16 months of operation."

I haven't seen them on the road, but here's the site: http://www.partybike.com/index.php

I've never seen those before. Looks like the dumbest idea ever--people are supposed to ride those in traffic?! Who steers? And I thought I hated Times Square back when I worked there...

I saw one of those in Amsterdam years ago. They are much more tolerant there.
