Reminiscent of the quadcycle and even the buscycle, this creation seems like a great way to end those boring meetings on Monday morning. Instead of everyone stumbling in with their white paper cups of coffee, let’s have everyone walk in with their bike helmets! They say it’s transport at theme parks, a way for clients to meet in London, and a way for blind people to bike in Dublin. I don’t see why it can’t be a weekly meeting for the cubicle folk here in the states. And, for the telecommuters? Well, we all might just have to show up at the office for this one, that is, when they install wine holders and a cheese plate.

Mark Growden plays the handlebars from Doctor Popular on Vimeo.

Man oh man I thought Jon Fishman was cool when he would emerge from behind the drums for his Electrolux vacuum cleaner solos. I stand corrected:

Musician Mark Growden plays many instruments, but here he demonstrates a particularly unusual one – bicycle handlebars. Note there are no holes or other modification added to the tube – the voice is controlled simply by hand and mouth. With some dedication to practice, the handlebars could be a choice instrument for the bicycling busker – convenient!
