Can bikes make good instruments? Apparently so! Composer Johnnyrandom did just that using only a bicycle and its parts.

He created an entire musical composition without any traditional instruments. He tuned spokes and plucked them with guitar picks, struck his tires with mallets and implemented an ebow, which uses an electromagnetic field to vibrate metal objects.
