Two guys make art on their bikes

by Tom Crann, Minnesota Public Radio

St. Paul, Minn. — They ride their bikes around the world, and they tell people about it. A pair of performance artists who call themselves Lone Twin have visited cities around the world -- riding their bikes for hours at a time in those cities, and then turning their experiences from those bike rides into performances.

Gary Winters and Gregg Whelan are friends from the United Kingdom who've been doing this sort of thing for the past nine years. Their performances can feature storytelling, video, even dance numbers.

This weekend, they make a stop at the Walker Art Center with their show "Nine Years," and they talked with MPR's Tom Crann.
