Default A Different Kind of Buggy

I have been working on a project for my Mom.
The local Lyons Club has a Walk/Ride for Sight which all the pledges go to the training of seeing eye dogs. We went in it a few years ago and had a blast.
So this year the 50 km bike ride will be done on the roads around where I live just as in the previous years.
However, the walkers and other bikers will be doing their thing on the 3 km road course at the Motorsport Park that is 5 minutes from our house.
So Mom wondered if I could build a bike that 2 people could sit in and pedal and we could all take turns riding in this event.Mom and Dad are avid cyclists and will have their 2 wheelers there also
So I have built a 2 seat pedalbike. The ride isn't for a few months yet but now that I got it done my kids took it in a parade last weekend.
The tubing is 1" diameter 18 guage. It has 5 speeds,brakes off of a bicycle and is actually quite comfortable to drive.
There was a few bugs to iron out at first with the pedal system but now it is all sorted out.
