What is an Art Bike?
An Art Bike is any human powered uni-, bi-, tri-, quad- or multi-wheeled cycle or contraption that may be ridden or moved. The Art Bike may be created using the standard bike form, or an original creation of any modification thereof. Modifications may be minimal or completely transformational, with materials including but not limited to paint, metal, sculpture, foam, wood, and embellishments such as buttons, coins, toys, or any materials that you can glue on.
