The Bike Zoo

Ringleader, co-founder, and UT Austin mechanical engineering graduate Jeremy Rosen and The Bike Zoo create life-long memories. Since unveiling their creations at the 2005 Austin First Night Parade, The Bike Zoo has presented a magical, immersive, and interactive environment for people of all ages. A unique and truly original addition to any festival, public space, corporate event, family gathering, or school/educational event, the menagerie of giant playful, interactive, hand-built creatures includes an 80-foot rattlesnake, many beautiful butterflies, a colorful moth, a beloved bat, a fanciful owl, a majestic bald eagle, a stately preying mantis, a whimsical bicycle carousel, a giant armadillo, and the newest creation, the dazzling longhorn! The Bike Zoo captivates the imaginations of both children and adults who experience the larger-than-life creatures. The one-of-a-kind hand-built animal bikes can be static or moving backdrops, give rides for patrons or VIPs, act as stages or mobile activity booths, and include opportunities for guests with special needs and a spectrum of biking skills. Millions of people have experienced The Bike Zoo across the US and Mexico. The Bike Zoo looks forward to entertaining people throughout the country and proudly representing Texas!
