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 tongu-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.

It IS pretty funny, though.

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.

I like this idea. It can also be a kind of exercise which is very relaxing

Just now
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.

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!!

I wonder about riding that bike on rough ground.

Sitting in the shade.... Stubby, nay, but a Jug would suffice oh pedal the bike swiftly

We never had a pushbike, but we had exactly the same manual lawnmower. My husband wanted one pretending he always used one when he was a teenager. Guess how many times he used it?

I have seen pictures of those before. But hubby would not be watching.

I think that's a really good idea! I could pedal one of those around, much nicer and quieter than pushing a big petrol mower! And oh how happy I would be if my neighbours got a nice quiet machine like that!!
