Ten Speed Rock: Guitar Hero For Bicycles

by Demi Adejuyigbe on November 19, 2008 at 4:21 pm


Neversoft, if you’re going to keep whoring out the Guitar Hero franchise- please, do it like this.

I wish I had more to say about this video, but to put it simply, this stuff is awesome. The amount of work and dedication is must have taken to do this is just astounding. Not to mention the LED programming for handlebars. Some kids with time on their hands road around a track of painted dots with LEDs on their handlebars in order to emulate the Guitar Hero experience, set to The Living End’s Prisoner of Society- on a bike.

It’s surprisingly well done, even with the hand writing and the star power tracks. I don’t have the motivation to ever do something on a scale this large, but I definitely have to applaud their work. Kudos, guys.

    Indisputably amazing video, but I’m skeptical it was made by just “some kids with time on their hands”. Maybe viral marketers have just left me hopelessly jaded. Still, incredible job.

    I can guarantee you that is viral marketing. There is no way in hell kids did that. Absolutely no way. The sheer skill and experience needed to pull that off can only be accomplished with a large budget and crew.
