Video of a huge and awesome fixed gear trike with what looks like a 5 foot diameter tractor tire mounted on a spoked wheel!

I love the gigantic faux headlight, the horn and gearing on this beast of a pedal powered machine. It appears about two full pedal rotations are needed for each turn of the front tire. Rudimentary steering via a cable run to the rear tires.



Thank you to Amsterdamize, who tells me this is in the south part of the Netherlands.

Via Gigazine, which I stumbled on quite by accident.
