DescriptionHave you ever had a piece of cardboard in your bikewheel? Did you notice that the faster you go, the higher pitch it produces?

The installation measures 840 x 180 x 280 cm, the mechanism is made of bicycle parts such as wheels, chains, pedals and sprockets, and the construction is made of steel scaffolding tubes.
