Tall Bike Posse

We had a great build today at the Central Coast Brewery. Tom and I showed up in the truck and unloaded our material for all to peruse and reuse.

We finished one tall bike, a large slingshot, a mini mammoth, a large car hood ornament, wind chimes, and a really cute sculpture of some kind of animal. Allen Root was a great help with his welding unit and awesome metal machinery. Jim Aaron opened up the brewery and we provided some foot traffic of thirsty lookie-loos. This is going to be a great bike art show at the Atascadero Bike Lane Gallery. Read about it on Craigslist.

SLO Bike Kitchen has been around for a while as sort of a nomad bicycle co-op with no real place to call home. Now that they have been added under the wing of the SLO County Bicycle Coalition, they now have a place. Honestly this is an ideal location at the base of the Bicycle boulevard and moments away from SLO downtown.

I stopped by late in the afternoon to check it out and was not surprised to see a tall track bike outside. Yee-Haw!

This is a wind chime made completely from Bicycle bones including shift and brake cables for hanging the chimes. Contact Sheriff Bill if you are intrested in purchasing.

The Posse showed up with Tallbikes, bike bones and banner vinyl to SLO County Bicycle Coalition Cyclebration at Central Coast Brewery. In classic TBP tradition, we cranked out some bikeartwork and this cool banner made from recycled vinyl, bike tire paint brush and outdoor latex paint. The Posse received a Velo Revelation Award for our spectacular ability to “inspire pedal passion in our community“.

I like what I see here, and it has been built! Kevin Syr is a recycle visionary and sees potential in a number of transportation alternatives. I will order up a bike camper when they come available. Do they come in a two wheel version?
