We get a lot of questions here at MassBike, and we like to think we also give some pretty good answers. We realized that sharing these questions and answers on our website would be a valuable resource to others looking for the same information.

We got this question from Scott about art bikes.


Do you have any leads on art bike groups that can be hired for a festival in Boston?



Hello Scott

I am pretty sure what you mean by art bikes are bicycles done up in awesome/outrageous/artistic ways, including custom built bikes (low riders, tall bikes, etc). The only organization I can think of are the wonderful folks over at SCUL, while I am not sure you can "hire" them as they are a quote "an anti-elite band of pilots testing out experimental ships, exploring the Greater Boston Starystems and occasionally other galaxies. We are an organized battalion of funk." they might show up if you asked nicely. Learn more about SCUL here.

Below is some examples of their work

If you know of any other groups like this that could help Scott out leave the link in the comments.
