The Quadricycle Build Story14th October 2010
With the wedding fast approaching, and the soon-to-be Mrs. IRW away at her parent's house in Bristol, I took the opportunity to build a special 'wedding carriage' seat:
I knew it was worth keeping the frames from those conference room chairs, and that bit of set that provided the original seats! In the above picture you can just about see the padded faux-leather covers I salvaged from some skipped office chairs that I have attached to the ply wood seats.
Here is the passenger seat with it's wooden base in position:

Here you can see the quad sitting on my drive-way, with the passenger seat padded and covered in a similar material to the seats:
You can also see the new mud-guards that I whizzed up as a means of wedding-dress-proofing the passenger seat!
Carol testing her seat!:
You can also see the front lights mounted on each front wheel arch in the above photo. There are two matching rear lights on the back.

The big day arrived, and the best man got to my house to find me still tinkering in the garage!
Myself(left) and Steve, my best-man cycling the quad to the church:
And with Carol on the back, going from the church, via Freedom Cycles (the brilliant & helpful LBS where I bought most of the new parts) to the reception venue!
And finally, me locking it up outside the reception venue!
Whilst this is the end of the main build, please continue reading for information on modifications and tweaks that are ongoing!
