Another Great Golf Cart Design? Probably Not

It seems that there is a fascination with pedal powered golf carts (see prior post). Recently a patent application published that takes the concept to a new level.

The application published as US Pub. No. 20070123363 titled “Bicycle-Mounted Golf Club Carrying System, Combination With a Bicycle Having Extra-Wide Tires and Method of Use Thereof.” The application describes the invention as:

A system for carrying golf clubs on the front end of a bicycle by dividing the clubs between two enclosures: one to the left of the bicycle’s front fork and one to the right thereof. Another Embodiment comprises the aforementioned system in combination with a bicycle having tires with a diameter in excess of 3.0 inches. The bicycle in combination with the system can be rented to golfers in place of golf carts to transport the golfer around a course.

PS – how many people would get injured riding such an invention around a moderately hilly course?
