 | We were out at Berkeley Spark this weekend to enjoy the festivities and to help promote Bike Seats on the Playa. With so many cool DIY bike seats, bike trailers, and art bicycles, I had to write a blog post to share some of the pictures. Berkeley Spark is a sort of Burning Man pre-party or send-off party held annually at Civic Center Park in Downtown Berkeley. It was a beautiful Bay Area summer afternoon, full of arts and crafts, dancing, food and grog, and most importantly ... lots of bicycles. |
There were all sorts of custom rigs at the park, from functional to artistic and everything in between. I included some photos here of the best ones from the afternoon.
| With this DIY bike seat, it's unclear whether it's the primary driver seat for a really tall owner, or if it's a passenger seat and the owner took his bike seat with him to make sure it wasn't stolen. Either way, it looks like a great ride! |  |
 | This bicycle trailer had pretty much everything you need in life ... guitar, radio, clothes and sleeping bag, and a wash-board as a backboard for the rig to make sure nothing fell off the back. You could travel an entire continent with this type of setup. |
| This was by far the coolest art-bicycle of the afternoon ... the fish tongues were an especially nice touch. Fish Bike was a completely functional art piece, though pretty difficult to ride being that it was so heavily laden with metal armor. |  |
