This is a great video, I'm glad you posted it. :thumb:

We have had musicians post videos of themselves playing and riding, but they were on rollers, not out on the road.

Shadiyah posted one before, on a trainer. :) I am still trying to figure out a set up for a drum pad so I can crank out the rudiments on the trainer.

No!

It's illegal and unsafe to ride with no hands. :innocent:

Reminds me of the Arlo Guthrie song.

that sounds harder...

Interesting, set your pedal to hit the kick drum? Playing along with music would be a good way to keep your cadence if you're playing something andante.

Would a front hub generator put out enough power for an amplifier attached to a rear rack? :)

Another thought is to set up a series of bells across the handlbars, two octaves would be nice.

I was taking a short cut through a park one day and saw a guy getting ready to ride his unicycle with a guitar. I would have stayed to watch but he didn't look like he quite mastered it yet and I didn't want to become part of a interesting wreck.

Thanks. That's not too far off.
