Quadribent

Ok so i had to find something that has to do with the letter Q I guess i could of went with something obvious. So i went for a search of the Q's and to my surprise i found the Quadribent. Didn't know anything like it was out there. Amazing the things you find when your having to look.

What is a Quadribent?
The Quadribent is a recumbent vehicle consisting of parallel paired recumbent bicycles that are joined together side-by-side to form a recumbent quad bicycle that two people can ride together.

The Quadribent attaches two EZ-1 recumbent bikes to make a four wheel, side-by-side "Sociable Tandem" with independent gearing and pedaling. The recumbents can be detached for solo use.

It can accommodate additional riders in an optional rumble seat.

And another holiday recipe, since fruitcake is a tradition that starts after the Thanksgiving holidays.
