STRETCH CARGO TRIKE UTE

This is a component of a larger community arts project in which the trike becomes a site and carrier of the artworks created during workshops.  The title for the workshops is 'Ideas for Machines to Save A City' of which I am proposing a bike might be.  The workshops will be held in April and May of 2016 - more details here - http://www.adelaidecitycouncil.com/whats-on/event/jimmy-dodd-ideas-for-machines-to-save-a-city.


There's not much to say, technically, except that it's a simple bolt-on extension for an adult trike bolt-on read end which bolts on to an alloy front triangle.  The rear then has a bolt-on sculptural / painting armature attachment specific to this project.

This phase is a working prototype pursuit, made quickly from things on hand and dormant past projects.  A tray is considered as structural.  Future fantasy resolution would include a few different profile choices and execution in chromoly.
