Pedal Power

These are an assortment of bi- and tricycle based projects I’ve done in NYC over the past 15 years or so.

First two pictured were commissioned by the Lower East Side Ecology Center.

1) Fishbike: LESEC has weekend fishing workshops on the East River where they teach river ecology through catch and release. The mobile facility was built on a Worksman Tricycle platform. The tail was left open with notches cut into it to collect old fishing line gathered by workshop participants from the river and riverbank.

2) Dump-Trike: LESEC also had an E-waste recycling center in Gowanus, Brooklyn (which has sadly been closed to make way for condo-fication of the neighborhood). An old pedicab trike was transformed into a pedal powered pick-up service vehicle with a tilting and locking cargo bin.

3) Soil Cycle mobile compost grinder and classroom facility made with Brooke Singer in Brooklyn, NY.

4) My homemade long-john front loader cargo bike.

5) The Parade Bike (featured in another post above) being used to pick up materials at the local hardware store.

IRIS FAB LLC is committed to using pedal power for transportation as often as possible. It reduces our carbon footprint and it’s more fun that way!
