A Dutch designed bike that plays your vinyl records while you cycle has been debuted at the Dezeen Space Platform exhibition in London
What are all your vinyl records doing? Well why not dust them off and listen to your tunes as you pedal along.
A trio of Dutch designers have reconstructed a 30 year old Alpina bike that they picked up for just 65 Euro in Germany and with a few simple alterations, they have turned the bike into a music making machine whilst you cruise the streets.
This bike's specific structure has made it easy for the records to be played whilst you cycle along; with a slight change to the 'crank of the bike and chain' the record is kept secure so that it doesn't skip whilst you spin the pedal.
The records, which are easy to change, are screwed on to the frame with a small cap and with a spring loaded needle you can let pedestrians listen to your favourite tunes, which are played through a megaphone style amplifier, as you zoom through the traffic.
The Feats Per Minute bike has made its debut at the Dezeen Space Platform Exhibition in London.
The only down side is that the records will only play if you cycle at a constant speed, not so great if you are stuck in traffic!
The bike looks and sounds amazing, watch it perform in the Youtube video below:-
