Ryan Riedel ◦ Crowd-Friendly Additions with Practical, Durable Media

Over my decade+ of operating big, obnoxious tricycles, I have designed and constructed several complementary builds with the stated intent of attracting attention so as to increase earning potential, while those in the know will confirm that the actual intent is joy: the joy of curious, “I don’t know that I’m actually going to be able to do this” creation; the joy of my friends and family; the joy of disrupting routine and familiar space with extraordinary, inspired fun.
