Steam bicycle?

[Rivergypsy]

Now here's an idea I've been pondering for a while - has anybody here had a go at a steam bicycle? I've found this old Copeland, and it looks highly amusing

I did some resurch on Sylvester Roper's steam cycle but I could never find enough good information or prints. I've thought about it sence 1986; that one looks nice, the only thing I can see is that the price of brass and copper have sky-rocketed making something nice like that almost imposible.
