Rimski and Handkerchief


Rimski and Handkerchief are two musicians quite unlike any others. Rimski plays the bicycle piano and Handkerchief plays the double basscycle, two unique, pedal-powered vehicles that are also musical instruments. They usually play while riding through and around their audience and, occasionally, when stationary.

Their songs are humorous ditties that suit their eccentric dress and ornate vehicle/instruments. When I saw them in Ross on Wye I marvelled at their abilty to pedal, steer, play and sing at the same time. Not once did they crash into each other or a member of the public. Find out more about this duo here.
