Check out the short little You Tube clip ... I LOVE this tune they're playing ... does anyone recognize it ? Also, I was wondering what Tuba the guy at the back of the bike was playing ... looks like the Tuba player also plays bass drum & cymbals with a foot pedal

Someone else here on TubeNet uses a gif of a similar bicycle in their .sig. I just wanna know if the bike was something bought ready made from a factory or was something made custom. Looks like a fun novelty.

They have a page for bookings... Wonder how much they would charge to come to the Seattle, WA., USA area...

That's impressive! And as Obelix would say: «These dutch are crazy!»
And this as well:

Looks like a 5v miraphone, probably a 186 CC.

The St. John's Bicycle Band did their shows from 1886–1891.
