An uncomfortable-looking seat

On our way back in our motor-home after a few days away, we stopped in Williams for lunch. We could have had lunch in the motor-home but it was too hot so we opted to sit in the air-conditioned café for an hour and enjoy the coolness. The place is called ‘The Wool Place’ and was set up by a guy I went to school with. There are several shops in the complex, including one which sells pure wool products. However, prices in all the shops are quite high. There are also some quirky bits and pieces. One I particularly liked was this motor-bike made from scrap metal. The seat is the base of an old shovel. Another example of someone’s inventiveness.

I am sure a shovel seat would be mighty uncomfortable.

The seats they make from old tractor seats would be much more comfortable.

@JudyEv At least it's formed to fit your butt.

You could tie a wool pillow on the shovel and make it more comfortable to sit on, though.

A wool pillow would have helped for sure.

That is a neat bike to look at with the seat as long as no one actually intends to ride that

A shovel seat without a cushion...it does look uncomfortable. A cushion on the top might have been a bit comforting.

Not a bad idea. The edges look a bit sharp.

Whether here or there those little quaint shops and malls seem to be precious pricey. But the things in them are adorable.

That's so true. They have some wonderful items but at this stage of my life I really need very little.

Oh, imagine how hot that would be sitting in the sun and also cold to sit on in the winter.

It is a shovel. The person just made a fun bike with all sorts of scraps.

A shovel is quite an ingenious way to create a seat, but probably very uncomfortable. And you would think that--being found in the Wool Place--that someone would have created a cushiony wool seat cover to go over that shovel.

@JudyEv That is true. I guess if someone made something creative like that, it’s something you’d want to see.

If they made a cushiony wool seat cover you wouldn't be able to see the cool shovel seat.

@JudyEv It's neat to look at. I had a tote goat when I was little that had a seat like that. Hurt like the dickens but so fun to race around. I have no idea how as a kid we could do painful things.

@judyev Not for my butt, that seat. I hired a bike in India once and it had a saddle the size of a sixpence. Didn’t dare sit on it to cycled just standing on the pedals. No brakes either.

It's just meant to be looked at. It's too small to ride and doesn't have an engine.
