CIMG7703 Tricycle with feather garlands and tinsel-wrapped wheel

CIMG7703 A tricycle — if the front thing wrapped in tinsel is a wheel, then it has three wheels — with a black-and-white mesh bubble, decorated with garlands of feathers, and, of course, the tinsel-wrapped front wheel.

This and some other bicycles and tricycles at the Maker Faire 2007 may or may not have been (my notes are not clear on that) part of Pedal Menagerie by Chalo Colina, who is, according to his bio, “a native Austinite who has made his career in fine art, crafts, research and development, and machining”.

Maker Faire was a two-day event that celebrated arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It took place in Austin, Texas in October 2007.
