The Heavy Pedal Cyclecide Bike Rodeo hit the Big Easy for the first time in three years and it was a grand ol’ time!

We set up at Architect Alley (between Port & St Ferdinand & Chartres & Royal) in the Marigney. We are very grateful to the owners and staff of the Mardi Gras Zone for their kind hospitality.

Chalo from the Dead Baby Bike Club brought some of his best custom alter-bikes down from Austin TX for this special event and Datri Bean sang her original brand of entertaining piano music.

Local favorites American Disaster Party, Loose Marbles, MaryGoRound, and My Graveyard Jaw rocked the alley too.

And of course we brought our pedal-powered amusements, Los Banos (the mariachi punk rodeo band), rodeo klowns and bike, bikes and more bikes.

Maker Faire was a two-day, family-friendly event that celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. It’s for creative, resourceful folks who like to tinker and love to make things. Produced by MAKE Magazine.

Big thanks to The Austin Bike Zoo, Black Label Austin, Datri Bean, Chalo, Dead Baby Bikes, Solar Waves and all the makers!

Cyclecide Heavy Pedal Bike Rodeo and other great installation!

Jarico, Big Daddy and Spider went to Amsterdam for this years Robodock art festival. They presented The Axe Grinder.  Big thanx to the Flaming Lotus Girls for helping transport our pedal powered musical monstrosity. We will be adding pics from the event soon…

“I particularly loved the Mad Max, bicycle-powered theme park rides. Tear out the Fun Forest, Seattle Center, and give the space to the geniuses behind Cyclecide, please.” Dan Savage The Stranger Sept. 2007

We ended us deciding that we didn’t have enough time or the inclination to fix our current bus, so we loaded all our crap in a rental box truck and the trailer. Laird followed with his van packed full of klowns. Trip up was pretty uneventful from my understanding. Me, DannyGirl, and Kaytea flew up last Thursday night and lended a hand with the last bits of set-up on Friday. The B.C. clettes showed up with Critical Mass for an impromptu performance on the lawn.

 

 The Dead Babies let us crash at night at their club house and they showed up on Saturday, Sunday and Monday to help us run rides and ride bikes during the show, and helped us strike on Tuesday.

I was really worried about the show because I was missing so many of my regular touring klowns, but everything came together and the shows went great, even though the Sunday show got shut down a little early because the cops panicked when a jouster fell against a fence, and Paul da Plumber crashed into a bush, and it seems we were asked to not light up the fire bikes but we accidentally did it anyway, but other than that, we got a lot of positive feedback about our shows.

I think a highlight of the event was on Monday when Dead Baby Dave got eight Hells Angels to ride the Cyclofuge at one time. They were all dignified and serious while flying in their little chairs and pedaling their bikes. I understand some one’s going to send us pictures of that.

 

Anyway, as you can tell, the Dead Babies were awesome. They seemed to have fun too. They gave us some of their t-shirts and we gave them some of our swag and paid half their month’s rent for their clubhouse as a Thank You. Big props are due to the newbies who kicked ass: Christian for learning the Los Banos bass parts under duress, Chrissy & Sam for their great clowning, especially during the Double Date skit, Becca for rocking out as the sign girl, Alisa for kicking ass at the merch booth all day every day, Paul Rainville for his hi-la-rious turns as the Pinata Pirate and to Lizzie for making sure no died on the kiddie carousel.

There’s more to tell, but that’s the gist of it. I will be shocked if we’re not asked back.

xo,
Augi
