An innovative lawn-mower

If you look carefully at the photo, I hope you can make out a pushbike with an old-fashioned lawnmower attached to the front.
The notice is a tongue-in-cheek spiel about how appropriate this would be for the lady of the house. She could mow the lawn while her husband sat in the shade with a stubby of beer. I would have news for that man!
I don’t know if they were ever marketed. I think it is more something that someone made up. If that was the case, he obviously had too much time on his hands.

@JudyEv I've never had a wife that would help me with chores around our homes... Pretty will if I keep griping until she helps me, though.

@DaddyEvil Viince helps very little about the house other than maintenance chores. Mostly my fault for not asking for help.

I would mow the lawn using such a thing if it actually worked. Seems very efficient and not at all dangerous or back-pain inducing like a regular push mower.

@allknowing I think it is just a fun one-off thing that a guy has made up in his workshop. I can't imagine it ever being used to cut grass.

@JudyEv Those manual mowers are actually having a bit of a renaissance over here. Modern houses have such tiny gardens and usually with a miniscule bit of lawn, it's not worth the expense of getting a powered lawnmower and of course there's nowhere to store such a big machine either. But if you don't cut it at all then you don't have a lawn. So what to do? You can't really crawl around with shears, and hiring someone to mow for five minutes would be ridiculous. My friend has a push mower and she gets her children to push it around. I think if you do it often enough it's quite easy.

@JudyEv
I had a petrol lawnmower
Not politically correct
So I sold it and got a push mower.
It's yellow

@Ineeddentures We should get one. Ours is electric but we have very little lawn.

I have seen images of similar, but not painted up all shiny and bright. I would flat fall over if I tried to ride it.

@JudyEv I think it would depend on your ground. I know the old push mowers like that are hard to push on uneven ground. But not bad at all on level ground

@JudyEv My lot is maybe odd. I have put in quite a few gardens now but where there is lawn, be very careful. For whatever reason, the ground is uneven though flat. I bring my cane when I walk off the walks. There are little hillocks and bumpy ground in unexpected places.

I have never seen a pushbike that is attached to a lawnmower before.

Better than having to push something around!

They have things similar to that in memes on Facebook that they call “redneck riding mowers.” Bah, if it works it works!!
