Rider of the Day

Dan: aka "Bike Boy"

Wow! Thats all I can say. Dan is a busker. Busker is an Ausiie term for a street performer. Buskers are a huge part of the tourism industry, entertaining tourists for a few bits dropped into the hat. "Bike Boy", as Dan is also known, is a transplant from England. Other than juggling fire, sharp knives, and cleavers, Bike Boy juggles a chain-saw, while standing on the handle bars and seat of his moving bike.

I would liked to have seen more of Dans impressive act, but the crowd was so abhorrent that he was forced to quit his show early. In all the time that I have been here, and all of the cities I have been in, I have yet to see a busker treated so horribly. For a busker to stop a show and pack t up, is to lose a days wages. I felt for Dan, and am definitely going to track him down and catch his act again. BTW, none of the rude heckling tourists were American.
