At setup. I was able to fit my ancient Bickerton (folded) into the back of my trike and ride it home after dropping off the trike. Easy Peasy. |

The tielike article I wore to opening night (just a bit of material really) was from the same cloth used to make the trikes sidepanel. |

Trike on opening night. |
Hi, Last week I entered my trike in
Fringe Furniture 31 which runs till October 1. This trike has not been my regular ride, so I spent a few days cleaning it and finishing it off before the exhibition. I decided to show off the modular panelling by having one side timber and one side cloth.
One of my test rides was to the local pub-brewery and I was able to use the trikes beer carrying capacity to good effect, and make a comparison to the 4 Pines Brewery competition prize. Fully enclosed but slightly squishy accommodation for 1 slab v. not very good accommodation for 1/2 slab. After a chat with the Drive-in-Bottleshop attendant, he gave me a free Dark Ale can, woohoo!
Dropping off the trike at the exhibition was not too hard, the
Abbotsford Convent where the exhibition is held is 5 minutes down the bike path, and I was able to hurl a folded up Bickerton. (very much protruding) into the back of the trike and ride the Bickerton home.
I went to the exhibition opening night and made myself a tie to match the fabric of the trike which hardly anybody noticed. I saw a few people I knew at the exhibition, some neighbours, and a few colleagues from uni. Free beer at the opening too!
Since then I've made a few visits to the convent and added a prop for the boot lid so people can look in, also left the tie-like object draped over the handlebars with "please try me on" scawled on the skinny end. The trike is for sale at the exhibition for $3000. There are about 9 days to go and see it, the exhibition ends October 31.
Regards
Steve Nurse
