My dad is a pretty creative, fixer upper type of guy. He built my parents house, he finished the basement by hand. He even made his own cupboards for the kitchen. About a year ago he and my mom were at our house and we were watching videos on youtube. He showed me this video of a 4 wheel bike and wanted to make one. He looked at buying all the parts and building it but the kit to make it was around $4,000. So being the "build it myself" type of guy he is, he did just that. He started shopping at the local DI's and picking up bikes, tearing them apart and building his very own 4-wheel bike. It has been quite the project for him, but it is finally complete enough to ride. It is funny to see the amount of attention this bike brings to those riding it.
My kids LOVE this bike and even though I made fun of my dad at first for the bike I do have to say that it is pretty dang cool. If you are ever driving around and see this bike, its one of a kind built by my dad.
He is totally in his prime when people stop and ask him questions. But I think he is most proud of it is when younger kids want to sit on it and ride it. He is such a good grandpa!!!
