While we don’t necessarily recommend playing an instrument while riding your bicycle, there are certainly worse ways to spend an afternoon. Michael Kowalsky is a student in Montreal, and this is how he expresses his love of bicycles.
In the Horniman Museum’s instrument department, here in south London, they used to have a keyed trombone on display. The information board said that keyed trombones (which lack a slide, and look more like a large trumpet) were popular in the 1880s for circumstances where the slide might get in the way, such as ‘marching bands or when riding a bicycle’. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to be on show any more. Unless it was sold off to a cyclist?
