Another of my odd dream bits...
I met a guy in the dream who had made a two seated, pedal powered, riding lawn mower. The extra rider was for more pedaling power.
He had taken a basic riding mower, gutted it hard, then made the blades and wheels move by pedals. They worked off separate gearing, but it did it's best cutting when the wheels were going slow, as the blades were at their fastest.
Interesting concept!

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Great dream, that's my favourite sort of guy!
I found a single seater for you.

Apparently it was pretty good on medium sized flat lawns, but a bit front heavy for going down hill!
