The Genuinly Useful Velo

We were in downtown Middletown yesterday for the Main Street Music Festival, watching popular Cincinnati group "Robin Lacy and DeZydeco"...
. .

...when a man rode-up on his rather "personalized" trike. Steering-wheel with bell, three mismatched tires, single front peg on one side of the front wheel & incomplete electric assist unit on the other side.
.

.
He paused there for a moment, looked around at the stage and crowd, then did something I hadn't expected. Wheeling the trike around so the front wheel faced away from the stage he parked near the curb, stepped off, walked around to the back, and turned his trike into a rather comfortable looking chair.
.
.
Talk about being "as one" with your machine... suddenly my bike didn't seem as "complete" as it had been before.
