Shared Propulsion Car

Shared Propulsion Car is a project by Montreal artist Michel de Broin, exhibited at Mercer Union gallery in Toronto. An '86 Buick Regal stripped of its engine, suspension, transmission and electrical system and outfitted with 4 independent pedal and gear mechanisms. The vehicle retains the illusion of the mass-produced luxury automobile, but is reduced to a shell that now has a top speed of 15km per hour. This video, recorded by Benny Zenga, documents the car in motion, October 27, 2007.

Too bad these young cops don't have better judgment, so we don't waste the court's time deciding what he should have been able to decide for himself. A bicycle that looks like a car is still a bicycle.

Thanks for your gesture of solidarity, we at Mercer Union appreciate the feedback.

However, having seen the way the police officer conducted himself both in court yesterday and last fall, it should be stated for the record that his conduct was thoroughly professional. Slurs such as "dirty pigs" are entirely inappropriate and we wish to distance ourselves from them.

Yes, where did I use a slur?

[mercerunion]

You did not use a slur, that part of the reply was referencing some previous comments by other posters. The wording of our message did not make that clear, and we apologize.

The irony of a large group of cycle-cops driving by at that particular moment was nothing short of beautiful.

LMAO when the cop asked ( can you pop the hood ? ) the girl in the back should of lifted her top.

What's the 0-60 on this bad boy?

The state does not like it because it cannot find a way to tax it. For example:License plate,speeding ticket, etc. That was a great video.

Unsafe because it has a car frame. That's ridiculous. I bet six people carrying a car frame is still consider unsafe.

It perfectly safe and it is legal. A Quadcycle. Really cool!!!!

People and cops need to get use to the idea. This is after all the future.

I want a Rigsha. They have three wheels so they would be called a trikcycle.
