The Beer Bike has already made the headlines and now the same team has come up with a new design to share. These famous guys, based in Portland, follow a new line of work to aid and amuse people. This team has a history of creating wonders using cargo bicycles and the latest of their skill gigs is the Pedal Powered Talk Show. They have converted a cargo bicycle into an interview set to be used in this show. Among their other successful cargo bicycles include the Beer Bike, which has a wooden bar with space for two kegs and a rack, a mobile coffee shop, a bicycle repair station on wheels and more. This show named the Pedal Powered Talk Show would need a guy to ride the bicycle who will carry the host along the interview set just by pedaling. This is a wonderful gift to the world of broadcasting.
The Pedal Powered Talk Show is brought to the audience by the host and producer of the show, Boaz Frankel who is happy to ride the bike and interview random people in different locations. To carry a heavy wooden desk and a man, it needs a strong base. The whole apparatus relies on a hand-made steel frame and custom made wheels. The desk is a solid and heavy custom made wooden desk which is used as the interview table. The total weight of this specially designed mobile interview station is around 75 pounds.
The whole length of the bicycle fitted with the interview set comes to be around 2.4 meters. This cargo bicycle is a unique creation, which is made by a team of experts. What makes it so reliable is the extraordinary finish of the bicycle welded to perfection. The show interviews visitors and other people on the spot selected by the host anywhere in the city. Frankel does his job of riding the bicycle alongside his crew around the city always ready to surprise the walking audience. So, if you live in Portland and you see a human powered wooden desk ridden on wheels, you should be ready to be interviewed.
The interview desk is so finely made that when screened from the right angle, it is hard to notice the bicycle attached to it (though the whole idea is what makes it special). The show is fairly new but is already famous among the general audience across the web, and the crew has also interviewed actors and celebrities including Daniel Baldwin. The bad news is that the show access is limited to the web and can be watched through the show’s website only. It is likely to be screened from next month awaiting the completion of enough episodes to start with.
The basic idea behind the show has come through the transformation of a regular cargo bicycle into an interview set. The team has further encouraged more ideas to be implemented, which could be carried on wheels. Let us await what next they present with their skill.
