MOTIVATION:
I volunteered to participate in a community event that combined healthy lifestyles, creative 3-D art, and recycling called "The Visalia Bike Project".
Artists, activists, cyclists, and zanies joined to prepare "Kinetic Sculpture" entries for the St. Patrick's Day parade.
(The second photo shows another of my three creations, in the background).

( subscribe to me IRISHMAIL and get notified of the "lightweight portable Bike Stand" to be published in July )
DESCRIPTION:
A girl's bike was stretched by adding a little boy's bike in the back.
For this event, it's more of a crazy parade bike.
It is easily convertible to become a cargo bike with a low center of gravity
SPECIAL NOTE:
There are THREE creations in this series of Instructables. The two others are:
"THE RUSTBUCKET" - - - "THE SPIN-DOCTOR"
Please take a look at them, and let me know what you think and how to make them better. Thanks!!
