A versatile bike
« on: 28 July, 2008, 12:36:21 pm »
Quietly relaxing watching Thai TV a few days ago when a group were introduced playing a bike :o

The pump was being used as a rhythm instrument, the handle bars as a flute, the recovered saddle as a drum and the cross bar to the rack for melody ( there were about twenty bike bells attached to it presumably suitably modified).

I have no idea who thought that one up but said to myself "amazing what a versatile object we enjoy!"

Anybody know of other uses?

Carlton Reid (he of BikeBiz and Quickrelease.tv) did something similar a while ago.
I feel like Captain Kirk, on a brand new planet every day, a little like King Kong on top of the Empire State

There was a fine piece of footage taken last year of Charlotte and the Harlots playing Margaret Hilda. We were in a hitherto peaceful Northamptonshire village at the time, our ride having been inadvertently split, shortly before indulging in some excellent food and beer in a pub in the evocatively-named village of Lubenham.
