If you think your bicycle with no breaks and wobbly handlebars is dangerous, then clearly you haven't seen the Steampunk Racer. Any bike that takes three people to pedal is bad news in my book.
The Steampunk Racer was an entrant in a 12-inch bike charity race held in the Netherlands. The bike is steered by the rider up top and powered by the two riders on bottom. Check it out in action in the video.
