A couple weeks ago, Film Editor Erik Henriksen reported on a team of nerds hard at work on turning their bikes into Star Wars-inspired vehicles for Pedalpalooza’s “Star Wars vs. Star Trek” ride. Erik wrote: “For this year’s ride, the crew is staying mysterious. ‘This year’s bikes are smaller, but with a bigger ‘wow’ factor,’ Cameron Schnur says, adding only that this year, some of the bikes will ‘have legs.'”

The secret is out! You may have spotted this tandem monstrosity roaming around SE Portland on Saturday:
