I never heard of them but they're playing a block from where I work
(the Spiegeltent Theatre at South Street Seaport) on August 30th. I
could really do without a 10pm starting time though. Still, I get to
save $2 with a bike helmet. There's a reason to wear one (no, no, no
helmet war here).
The Spiegeltent is a very odd thing and is only temporary; I biked
past it a few times before going in to see what it was about. A sort
of traveling theater in the round, made of wood and pretty cool
looking. Here's the website: http://www.spiegelworld.com/. I think
maybe Absinthe followed by the Ditty Bops might make an interesting
evening. Too bad there's no $2 savings on Absinthe; that's $68.

They were profiled on one of the NPR news mags, too. They rode through
the midwest during the heatwave. One day they made 130 miles!

Well, that's pretty good, but they are carrying nothing but hydration
packs. They have a full sag wagon accompanying them.

I saw them in Springfield, IL and got thier CDs. They aren't
publishing thier route or times, so kind of hard to ride with them. I
also have thier bicycle calender for 2006.

The tour blog is at http://www.thedittybopsbiketour.blogspot.com/.
The two women who make up the Ditty Bops are bike advocates. The first
song on their debut CD was 'Walk or Ride', which was somewhat about
deciding to ride a bike over driving a car. You can hear it at
http://www.thedittybops.com/songs.htm . Their music doesn't appeal to
everyone (whose does), but they do have a unique sound.
