I went to a shindig over in Arlington and saw this Artsy Xyclo. At night they were riding it around and the
man part was lit. It looked like a fun project. The sign advertises this program:

Arlington is the most bike friendly suburb of DC. They even promote car-free with this carfree diet program.

DC used to have a similar youth bike mechanic program as part of Shaw Eco Village but its gone. The good thing
about these programs is they might raise a generation of bike mechanics that don't get a bad attitude about helping you keep your trusty old bike running.

That's a cute bike. You ought to show it to the folks in the Alt-bikes forum. They'll love it. Any more pics of it?

Yeah, but not additional info. Here is another odd bike from the same group. It had solar cells coming out its butt for some reason. The little tray like thing near the woman holds solar cells. I'm not sure what its all about. This rhino bike had a door so the rider could be hidden from view.

The first bike has a large working brass horn with a squeeze bulb so that was fun for people to make noise with.
