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.dave_matheson wrote:]Check out the short little You Tube clip ... I LOVE this tune they're playing ... does anyone recognize it ?
