Midnight Ride in the Great White Snake at SXSW

Our EFF/Plutopia party posse came across a gorgeous piece of Burning Man-type movable art tonight at SXSW 2008: a giant and sinuously elegant snake cycle. The core multi-cycle structure appears to be constructed of welded bike parts, beach tires, and PVC. Strips of white, corrugated plastic; 2-liter bottles spray-painted white; and riveted tin plates make up the snake body around it, with stitched nylon over the head form. Take a closer look, and get the inside view of Brad Templeton and I pedaling furiously away inside:

   

I googled a bit, but wasn't able to discover the story and makers behind this project. If someone knows the details, please comment!

Christine,

That's BikeJeremy and Sachi of Austin Bike Zoo. They have been a big part of Maker Faire Austin and brought it to the party as a favor to us. I had a great ride myself. More about them at:
