The Choprical Fish: a Human Powered Party Bike

Step 26 Get your friends together and go cruising.

We premiered the Soul Cycle Chopper on Bike to Work Day in May of this year. We met at Lanesplitter's Pizza in Oakland, a local bike community hangout, and went on a beautiful 5 mile cruise that ended at Luka's Tap Room for late night dancing. The bouncer at Luka's let me bring my bike inside so I could enjoy the night stress free. Music and bikes are both so important to a strong community that when you bring them together, you can't help but have amazing things happen. I encourage people to choose positive, uplifing, groovy, dance music, rather than the typical thrashing music associated with bike culture. But hey, if thrashing music floats you and your friends' boat, go for it.

Here are some of my all time favorites:

Anything from Marvin Gaye funky years, including Sexual Healing, and Got to Give it Up.
Stevie Wonder, Innervisions album.
Curtis Mayfield, Move On Up.
DJ Sergio's House Mixes.
The entire The Harder They Come soundtrack
Bill Withers, Use Me.
David Bowie, Let's Dance.
Diggable Planets, Dial 7.
CIrque Du Soleil, Delirium Album.
