2003 - Slim's Bike

nobody@flickr.com (silverfuture) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:23:04 -0800

From Intuit:

Jim Thompson, better known as Slim, rode around Detroit's Cass Corridor area on his unique art bike. Slim's Bike is an elaborate assemblage of mixed materials: a conventional Schwinn street cruiser embellished with pictures of his friends and people in the neighborhood, pinup pictures of women in provocative dress, magazine cutouts, religious symbols, flags, fabric, fur, mirrors and pinwheels. Plastic jugs are used as headlights. Flashlights attached to the frame of the bike, facing backwards, are covered by plastic cups to give them color. The bike's seat was replaced with a wooden toilet seat, and two battery-powered radios in front and in back of the seat played the blues as Slim rode around. At seven-feet tall and nine-feet long, the bike is massive, and sized to fit its rider - Slim was six-foot-nine. He quickly became a legendary urban figure, stopping to tell stories about his eccentric and often sexual proclivities. Slim's public persona was designed to shock people, and he enjoyed doing so.

This white van sat outside of my window for more than a week. I was very paranoid about it.
