Has anyone ever seen pictures of either the one-man or two-men versions of the sousacycle?
One starts with a sousaphone, unsolders it, puts it back together in the shape of a long slithering serpent, and finally mounts in on a very extended frame bicycle-thing. Either the player may steer and pedal (one man version), or someone else may (two man version), if it is set up that way.
I believe the University of Michigan has one, and they used to have one uniformed bandsman pedaling and steering around the track at the halftime shows, and a second uniformed bandsman was seated on the contraption operating the sousaphone portion of the device.
