The Mobile Bicycle Sewing Station

This is a video about the building of a bicycle that features a modular sewing station. The bicycle was built by Rejuiced Bikes in the course of two days. The bicycle is now in the gallery of the Museum of Contemporary Craft for an exhibition called Gestures of Resistance.

info:
Gestures of Resistance examines work by contemporary artists who focus on craft actions and create works that use craft to agitate for change. Rather than present a grouping of objects, the exhibition unfolds over its tenure at the Museum. Through a series of seven artist residencies, open conversations and a study center, the exhibition is a timely examination of what it means to create, to have personal agency, and to counter drives towards productivity and consumption through craft.

I suppose I should clarify, it's bicycle 'pedal' powered. It's no longer a bicycle.

I can appreciate the effort that went into this from the engineering standpoint, but it's not very practical unless the person doing the sewing is pedaling. At this point in time, I think I still have the only bicycle powered sewing machine on YouTube.
