How long would it take to adjust the seat (or is that a chair)? If we Metro West BF conspirators helped it surely would take longer but ideas for trips, adventures and general discussion would be fantastic.
With ~12 S&S couplers, I think it could pack to the size of an airplane (C-130, maybe?). Would probably need a custom case, though, $$$.

In general, I've found that the position of a bicycle seat is specified by a limit function as time approaches infinity; as a practical matter, this means it varies freely during the life of the owner. In this case, the seat (the one over the pedals, anyhow) is missing, which either simplifies the function, or initializes it. We could add a seat, and start the seat-adjustment clock ticking, or modify the drive train so that the passengers can pedal; more work, but not such a bad idea, in any case... Depending on design specifics, might need to extend the handlebars by 2 or 3 feet, maybe use Nitto Pterodactyls.
