Fossil Fool, the Bike Rapper

				San Francisco-based street performer and festival performer since 2003

				Best of SF Weekly 2009: Best Personality on Two Wheels

				Chances are if you've been out in the Mission or at a Critical Mass bike ride, you've seen Fossil Fool the Bike Rapper, aka Paul Freedman, riding his 130-pound Choprical Fish. The fish is a glowing neon bicycle tricked out with an eight-speaker system that often has a woman known as Mafiosa Felice shaking maracas while straddling the passenger seat. When the mood strikes him, often in front of Cafe Revolution on 22nd Street between Mission and Valencia, the Fool will descend from his mobile throne. Getting someone else to pedal to power his iPod and speaker system, the Fool will perform numbers like "I Am a Fossil Fool," "No Bikes Are in the Yard," or the "Boda Boda Rap," inspired by the boda-boda bike taxis in Kenya. It's all about creating the spontaneous community more accessible by bike than by car — "an alternate universe where bikes are cool and cars are lame" — and he says music is the magnet to draw people in.

				Best of East Bay Express 2009: Best Musician with a Cause

				Fossil Fool, The Bike Rapper 888-354-2453, RocktheBike.com Based at Rock the Bike, a grassroots Berkeley manufacturer of all things pedal-powered, this man has created a world where bikes are cool, Escalades are lame, and pedal-powered rap is the hottest ticket in town. He is Fossil Fool: The Bike Rapper. As much an environmentalist and engineer as an artist, Fossil Fool plays impromptu street gigs where he sings about bikes, going places on bikes, and partying with bikes. The Fool rides a home-built pedal-powered chopper named the Choprical Fish whose rear hub is easily geared to an electric generator; the bike is lifted on a mount, audience members pedal, Fossil Fool raps, and the PA system sounds. In his tamer life at Rock the Bike, Fossil Fool is known as Paul Freedman, who has invented and innovated a wide range of bike-powered accessories, including bike-powered blenders, bike-powered sound systems, bike-powered lights, and super sturdy sport-utility bikes. Rock the Bike reveals all the practical possibilities of living in a world without combustion engines, where bikes are cool, cars suck, and music strengthens your quads.
