Build a kid's long-wheelbase low racer recumbent bicycle

Step 5 Seat

The seat is simply plywood with a few brackets holding it together. I covered it with foam and some leftover denim fabric I had. The seat is attached at the bottom with brackets made from tubing split down the middle with wings attached. See the photos for details. The rear bracket is bolted to the old seat adjustment bolt holes. In theory, you can re-drill the bracket and scooch the seat back as the rider grows.

If you turn on the macro (flower) mode on your camera you can get better focus on object closer than ~1ft :)

Tried that - couldn't get it to focus b/c of the retroreflective paint messing with things. The fuzz is mostly blowout from the flash. Thanks for the tip, though :)
