Beautiful Bicycle Shop on Wheels

Street selling via a most beautiful and creative Bicycle Shop!


Bicycle Feather Jewelry Shop on the Street by RidingPretty


This bicycle vendor's shop consists of a DIY bicycle child trailer all redone in tapestry fabric. It converts into a table display for her wares. I especially love the touch of a vase of wild flowers on the table top.

Jewelry hangs off the handle bars -- Jewelry on the brooks saddle seat as well.

Two customers have decided which feathers and beads they’d like to have weaved into their hair.

RedWingBlackBird is the name this talented artisan goes by. You can find her on occasion downtown Santa Cruz. Her art and craft is making jewelery and feathered hair jewelry extensions. She pedals her portable shop downtown, sets up and is usually quickly surrounded by admirers of her work. Last year her feathered hair pieces were largely ignored by people passing by her bicycle shop, this year it's quite the opposite!


More street seller vendors setting up mobile shops with their bicycles (**hint renegade foodies twitter their locale) :

Bike Basket Pies (no longer in biz but very missed)
Magic Curry Kart
Holly Tamales
Biscuit Bike
Sabertooth Bakery (via Chic Cyclist)


Selling from a bicycle, doesn't always sit well with localities that have permits and license requirements in order to sell -- being mobile on your bicycle is one way to stay, well mobile...

Have you noticed any entrepreneurial bicycle vendors popping up in your neighborhood?
