We're past the time for Halloween costume plotting now, but a cool costume idea just submitted by a reader is worth filing away for next Halloween -- or having fun with all through the year. Sue Ellen Holmes writes of how she made a biker costume that uses a wheelchair as part of the costume. "This costume will now come with us on trips to the mall and the hospital, as it evokes a friendly response from others! Sometimes I feel like parents are afraid to let their kids ask questions or approach Jimmy, and this Performance Harley Davidson Motorcycle Wheelchair breaks that barrier. I took Jimmy to the mall to trick-or-treat, and people stopped to get their pictures taken with him." Read how she did it, then share the special-needs costume that worked for you this year.
