Rider is made of a wire under-form, which is heavily wrapped with thin plastic in blue and white, creating the shape of a human. Figure grips the bike handles, and legs are bent at the knees to reach the pedals. When the bicycle is propelled forward by the handle the pedals move, causing the legs to pump up and down.

Molas on back and front are similar but not identical. The bag’s zipper remains, sitting on the left side of the torso.
