context_page_description: Puppet Bike is a small street performer group in Chicago. The bike, which is complete with a fully mobile stage, is a common sight on the streets of the Andersonville neighborhood and in downtown in the Loop.
context_section_description: Trusty himself and 8 other performers ride the bike around Chicago, stopping at strategic corners to climb inside the box. Each performance lasts 2 to 4 hours and consists of several different puppets with an animal theme. The puppets generally dance to various kinds of music and interact with each other in other ways. The puppets also interact with the audiences, waving to people, giving high fives, and sometimes popping out from a small door at waist height to gesture towards the tip box.
  Performers work for tips only (generally placed in a locked box attached to the front of the enclosed staging area).
