Keep you warm on cold commutes I suppose.
Top speed of 20mph and can do 10 miles on one tank of water, which is strangely the same as me .

Brilliantly idiotic!

Think there are enough hot air cyclist's about as it is.

That whistle certainly beats an Airzound.

More likely to make drivers to get out of the way.

They wouldn't like that on a club ride..Cue a peloton of coughing, spluttering and very annoyed cyclists.

sorry to be a killjoy but is it a powered vehicle? If so will it need a
V5 registration
Insurance
MOT
Lights ect.
Also what about the boiler producing high pressure steam in public spaces.
Surely some extra certification needed there.

And that background music an whistle combo was the most annoying thing I've heard in years.

Not necessarily, it is possible to get a 'daytime' MOT, in which you just need a brake light..........................but I agree with the rest !

I've noticed lately there's a few bikes around where I live with retro fitted small engines on them. Surly there not road legal?.

To complete the look, the cyclist will have to be kitted out in full Steampunk cycling gear.

With riveted iron cycling shorts to keep that contraption from blowing his McNuggets off when the inevitable explosive event occurs.

As it's powered by petrol/kerosene, he's basically made a super-inefficient motorbike. Internal combustion engines have their problems but they're about four times more efficient than a decent steam engine.

Correctamumdo.

Anyway, steam is so passé. I've been working on a nuclear bike...
