The bicycle sharing service COGOO has developed Turntable Rider – described as “the world’s first attached device for bicycles which converts a bicycle into DJ turntable.”
In other words – they created a bike-controlled DJ controller.
Not the most practical music controller ever – but it’s creative!

DOPE!! Not for me but it sure is cool!
Some nice tricks for sure
This video sums up exactly what I feel about DJing
It should only be done on BMX bikes?
Great to see a girl on the bike… too bad they cut her out in the final edit.
Sorry, this is clever but useless, what is the point? Will they now install half pipes in clubs to facilitate the bmx djs?
that’d be pretty sweet…
As with most DJ stuff, I fail to hear how their movements influence the music …
Reminds me of my GT days. My bike was my instrument/turntable back then, and i can relate to this vid of marrying the 2.
Sick
Tasty. This type o’ thing could work so well with so many other sports, Rodney Mullen(Skateboarder) beat juggling with 360Flips.. or freerunners with accelerometers controlling filter cutoff they fall through the air, dropping the beat when they land.. Yeah. It’s like reverse synchronized swimming.. Could be a revelation, Nike did that thing for the Ipod that has a separate sensor, why not more sensors? It could revolutionise personal excercise!
Bah humbug, we got people being killed all over the planet and some twat invents another toy for kids to further inflame their ego? Go spend that money on piano lessons and use the rest for humanitarian purposes
This is very cool. Being a mountain biker, it really fires my mind up considering the possibilities. Bike riding would translate very differently into music. You have to consider what you’re doing a fair bit in advance, and the ability to do things in time with music as you compose on the fly while riding proficiently would be impressive indeed… lends a very new dimension to music, as far as I’m concerned.
