Bike Drawing Machine

For Christina Shmigel’s class last week we did an alter ego project, and this is what I ended up with.

I came up with the idea of making an attachment for my bike that sketches my path behind me as I ride. With the help of Justin Turcotte’s ingenuity, crayola chalk, and my own pedal power I was able to make it happen. I documented the original drawing by taking 946 photos. This is still a work in progress. More to come soon.

      Both of those pictures are up hill and the bike I am using is a bit small for me so the line gets quite wobbly. One of my roommates asked me if I was drunk when I did the first ride but I assured him it was 8:30 am and I had not been drinking.
