Joy Ride Art Exhibition - THUNDERDOG STUDIO Bike






Anyone who rides a bike on the streets, knows it's dog-eat-dog out there. With cars that don't see you & pedestrians to dodge. That is where artist/designer Tristan Eaton & his THUNDERDOG STUDIO have been inspired for this design.

On display as part of Bicycle Film FestivalJoy Ride Art Exhibition, Eaton’s fixed gear bike is literally a street fighter. Constructed from welded steel, carbon fiber and multi-coat of acrylic urethane paint. Eaton customized the handle bar into brass knuckles, in case the rider needs to “reach out and touch” those who cut him/her off. Polished chrome, bolt-shape scythes on wheels to cut down unsuspecting pedestrians or fellow riders who are too close for comfort. All I can say is. Get out the way!!
