This Crazy May Day Float Carried A Rock Band And A Half-Pipe [PHOTOS]
Minneapolis hosted the 39th Annual MayDay Parade on Sunday, attended by tens of thousands of people who come to see the eclectic mix of marching bands, huge puppets, groups walking for progressive causes, and a whole lot of bikes.
We were in the area for the parade, and were especially impressed by this "float," which Flickr user Nancy Sims identified as the work of local pro-cycling group Bicycle Anarchy.
The incredible contraption was powered by about ten people pedaling, who were pulling a full band performing on a caravan of sorts, along with a grill being used to cook large chunks of meat.
Attached to that was an actual skateboard half-pipe, being used by half a dozen people.
Check out the photos:

We also appreciated this smaller parade entry, and the man who hooked up a dog to pull him along the route.
