Sofa Bike
The bike co-op entry in this year's Festival of Lights Parade is coming along nicely. The sofa bike is the cornerstone piece. It rolled even smoother when I put some air in the front tire.

my local co-op is talking about making something for some event here (I work nights so I can never really get into whatever they're doing). i'll send them a link of this.
