Zany Bikes of Redmoon
Redmoon is a puppet theater that loves pedal-power. Our operative was able to sneak deep within their compound and bring you these few photographs of their limitless fleet of crazy HPVs.
Note that these bikes are in a stripped-down form to display the frame, whereas usually they might be adorned with costumes and decoration
This is the Winebike. A tall-trike with a wheelie bar. The cone on the front is supposed to suggest a Victrola and contains a speaker. It also pivots with the front wheel by way of a separate pushpin off the steering column. The umbrella revolves, bringing wine glasses into the reach of the performer.
A bottle is selected from the rack and placed into the decanter. The guest clamps their glass down and the lever pours them a drink.
The sound system is contained in a suitcase and controlled from within the steering wheel.
The umbrella is powered by the free rear wheel, through crown gears attached to a pipe snake.
This bike is a pusher, it's designed to add power to larger floats.
This audio-chopper has a speaker in the tuba, and the sound system is in back. It also has little wee cranks designed to flap wings.
The Second Annual St. Chino's Run
Unearthed from the dusty archives of Chicagofreakbike, an ancient harddrive bears the fruit of a St. Chino's Run two years old. Unfortunately, only the first day could be recovered. Check it out!
These pictures are cropped in the thumbnails. Be sure to click on each one to see all the bikes! Sorry about the censored nudity, boys, but there's no way I'm gonna get a bunch of shank-happy Black Label ladies after my ass!
This year's St. Chino's run will probably fall around Father's Day weekend.
