Office Chair plus Girls' Bike Equals Comfiest Bike Ever

He dumpster dipped ("no diving allowed, you could hurt yourself") a 35 pound leather executive chair, a teeny Princess bike along with sundry other parts and managed to fix the whole lot together into the odd looking recumbent you see above. It's not a simple job – it involves welding, CAD software, and joining together a lot of bicycle chains, but the end result looks like a lot of fun.

Office Bike

"Woodenbikes" has posted a great tutorial on building the ultimate comfort machine over on Instructables. He dumpster dipped ("no diving allowed, you could hurt yourself") a 35 pound leather executive chair, a teeny Princess bike along with sundry other parts and managed to fix the whole lot together into the odd looking recumbent you see above.

It's not a simple job – it involves welding, CAD software, and joining together a lot of bicycle chains, but the end result looks like a lot of fun. Don't let Woodenbikes' name fool you, either. As he says in his disclaimer,

None of my 15 home built bikes (to date) are made from 100% wood. Your Apple computer may not be made of 100% apples either. Open it up if you don't believe me.
