Bikezilla
This is Bikezilla; seven seats, six wheels, plus a trailer with two more seats.
This is how it looked when it was rescued from the shelf...
Hub gears and suspension seemed a good idea...
Check out the site for more.

That's really cool.
Suggestion on the LED spoke-display system: Check how well it operates at SLOW speeds. I assume that Bikezilla is normally operated at slower speeds, especially in parades, and the spoke display may be too jerky at those speeds.

The minimum speed for the POV LEDs is determined by the number of light spokes you have... IIRC, four is good for down to 10-15km/h

Bikezilla at Melbourne's Moomba parade yesterday:
I posted a thread on those vintage bikes you can see in the first pic, too.
