Update: after posting this @ig_fahrrad on Twitter pointed me to something far more funkier: the bicycle-rap-video by Skero ft. Kamp, from Vienna, Austria. Check out ‘Fuss vom Gas! (Foot off the throttle!):

Wicked! Can you say ‘Pimp My Ride’? Ganz genau!

As I approached Leidseplein, which is known for its buzzing business in the evening, I saw people dancing to what turned out to be the Lindy Hop, some in vintage style clothing. Accompanied by a live singer/bass player, it was good fun. Sure enough, a bike was also part of this scene. Part promotional (link to the Lindy Hop website), part coat hanger, part sound system (speakers in the front basket & panniers), these people found good purposes for an old transport bike. Lovely. Also, it’s no wonder James Howard Kunstler used Leidseplein as an example in his 2004 TED presentation of a public space where people want to be.
