Bike Writer Pedals for Protests

New Yorker Joshua Kinberg is a bike messenger of a different stripe. Instead of ferrying legal papers between lawyers, he uses a homemade, wireless, bicycle-mounted dot-matrix printer to spray protest messages in the street.

Kinberg will be taking his road-spraying bicycle to the Republican National Convention in New York this fall, where he'll ride around spraying slogans submitted over the Web and beamed wirelessly to the bike.

"It's painting on the street, but on the Net, too," said Kinberg, a post-graduate student at Parsons School of Design. "That's where the project's power is: on the Web."

Kinberg made his printer out of five solenoid-triggered spray cans, loaded with washable chalk. The spray cans are housed in a homemade Plexiglas box mounted on a rack at the back of the bike.
