[edit] Relation to ice luge
Other than the prone riding position and greater than 70 miles per hour (100 km/h) speed, street luge has little relation to its winter namesake (luge).
During the Seven network's coverage of the Winter Olympics, it mentioned that Australian Hannah Campbell-Pegg sometimes practiced on a road luge. Do many other lugers also practice using road luges, and if so, should the above text be re-worded? Andjam 05:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
Answer: An ice luge can be fitted with wheels and used on a paved surface. But, and ice luge with wheels and a street luge are two quite different machines. See this picture.
[edit] Confusion in text
I don't know anything about street luging (hence my visit to Wikipedia!), but this seems confusing.
