    You obviously conjure up the “Mary Poppins Effect” for them. Usually when a school us passes me, they all scream “Lance!!!” at me.

    Hopefully you might even inspire some of those kids to join you on the bike.

    And you should see the looks on schoolbus faces when they see this thing go past them:

    Actually, it brings a smile to most people who see it, and drivers yield to us like we’re royalty.

    Usually when this happens to me, they wonder why there’s a guy keeping up with the bus while it’s doing 40 mph 😛

    I wonder what drum-biking behind a school bus would be like.

    There’s only one way to find out.

      Would definitely catch some attention.

      I never saw someone drumming while riding but I did see a guy commuting on Hampshire Street in Cambridge with drums in the right position to do so. Could you be that drummer? It looked like fun.

      Too true about kids – hopefully the next generation will be more accepting of bicycles on the road.
