don't say nope just yet, mmmkay... let's think about the situation for a glancing moment and imagine what could be................. more than a glancing moment is required so dwell upon it for an extended period of time. I started an idea.

imagine a "standing UP" sidecar that you have to stand up while inside of it... nevermind.

it's a 5 person "standing up inside of" sidecar with a bus door opening mechanism with linkagagasesses to open and close the sidecar door for the pASSengers to enter and exit from. they have to stand up in single file real close to each other in there. far cheaper ticket price than the city bus so the awkwardness of standing so close to your fellow passengers is worth it.

The hatch on the top opens up and there's a child seat in there.

I try to discuss these things with people my age (who I know have seen them) and they all deny knowledge of a Bates Clipper Fairing or it's even stranger cousin the Jacwal. They are much better than I at burying bad memories.
