Even with the weights it's impressive he gets enough traction to push snow. *quality toy/tool. *promote

Doesn't he end up doing just about the same amount of work/energy as if he was shoveling? He's got the bike geared low so he's peddling pretty fast. He's got wheels but he's also got extra weight from the plow and himself and is pushing more snow than with a shovel.

If I only knew someone better at math than me.

I can do far more work with my legs than my back. I could run his bikeplow for an hour easy, but a shovel, 15 minutes would be pushing it.
The plow doesn't lift the snow, which saves wasted effort. Even so, it might still take more total work, but at a lower steady rate instead of short jarring maximum efforts.

The snow looks pretty light and powdery, I wonder how well this would work with something heavier or densely packed.
