I took it to school one day. My Mech Drawing teacher took it for a spin. Then he broke his foot with it. Don't put your feet down! The brakes work!

Ah, good times.
I got a "junk" tractor from a friend... (lawn mower tractor) and it has foot rests on it. I'm going to put them on mine, so that I have a place to put my feet if I don't want them up that high... just an insurance policy, in case my feet come off the pedals while the motor is running or something.

I'd like to think that people might open their eyes at some point... instead, I find it more and more likely that I'll just close mine.
