Well it's a contraption that the OH made for our local pubs soap box derby. All put together with stuff found in the garden and one of my dining room chairs grrr.
It had no brakes, no seat belt and only two thin ropes to use for steering.
Luckily my other half isn't stupid and offered to pay one of the locals in beer if he would ride it instead. He happily agreed, men will do anything for beer! We did kit him out with my OH's bike leathers and helmet though.
The other entries, that stood out, included an exercise machine put on wheels and two normal bikes attached together by wood?! (which you can just about see behind our one)
It was a really fun day and lots of the locals came out to support it and we won, yey. Although it wasn't that hard, our cart was the only one that actually made it to the finish line without falling to pieces.

Cracking! I love a good pup soap box derby. We have an annual pram race up here and it is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteA pram race sounds like fun, I've never done one of those x
DeleteYou found 4 wheels in your garden??!! :o)
ReplyDeletelol They were from our old bikes that never got put away and were left out all winter. We seem to accumulate crap in our garden x
DeleteThat is very impressive, although I'm not sure I would have wanted to drive it!
ReplyDeleteNo me neither. It's a boy thing x
DeleteOh that does look like fun - not that I would do it, even for beer! Very impressed by the creation!
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to watch, silly boys and their toys lol x
DeleteWe used to make these when we were young, surprising we weren't killed! Yours looks very road worthy though.
ReplyDeleteWell it didn't fall to pieces so I suppose that's something x

DeleteQuite an impressive contraption your husband made!
ReplyDeleteHe's quite good at that kind of thing, it's a boy thing x
DeleteHehe, I love that your OH bribed someone else to ride it!
ReplyDeleteyes it's much more fun to watch someone else propel themselves down a steep hill on a dodgy cart contraption lol x
DeleteYay at the win! Sounds like fun. I think a lot of men would do near enough anything for booze hehe x
ReplyDeleteI agree bless them x
