Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on November 15, 2011 at 4:56am: Hello. It was a sublime message from Anna Banana to lure you into the weird and wonderful worlds of Mail and Performance Art.

Bikes with these sort of seats were known as 'Choppers' in the UK. My son 'inherited' one from his big cousin in the early 80's.

Now we both have high-tech, high-price mountain bikes .

Peddle on! Val

Comment by Oh Boy on November 14, 2011 at 7:52pm: The design is from a drawing Ray Johnson did of Willem de Kooning's bike seat.

My first bike had a banana seat.

Comment by Valentine Mark Herman on November 14, 2011 at 7:44pm: These are ALL great, and I really like them.

have you thought about using other shape of bike seats...they come in all shapes and sizes, a bit like people really.

Keep on peddlin'!

Regards, Val
