Turning around after a short ride along a Jenifer Street sidewalk with a slight downhill grade, Sethares rides the bowling-ball bike back up a slight uphill grade in this second clip and parks it among some of the other art bikes you'll see at this Saturday's rally.
Sethares then mounts another art bike -- one with a frame geometry, extended seatpost and reconfigured drive train that elevates his view to a heightened perspective that appears to be somewhere north of seven feet. It is not, he assures onlookers, as hazard as it might appear in this next clip -- though his above-average bike-handling skills may be a significant factor in his low appraisal of the risk involved.
And then there is this short video clip, introducing a tandem bike that appears to be modeled on principles inspired by the PushmePullyou creature imagined by Hugh Lofting, author of the Dr. Dolittle stories. To demonstrate this tandem, Sethares is joined by another art-bikes enthusiast, Luke Emery.
One final "full-scale blow-out last-minute last-chance art bike decorating" effort is scheduled to begin at about 3 p.m. Friday, May 9, at 921 Jenifer St. (For details, phone Ann at 698-3525.)
