After an opera performance in Magdeburg, Germany last summer, we saw at least two of the orchestra members bicycling off with their instruments (one strapped to his back, and I'm unmusical enought to not remember what it was). It was very, very cool to watch them.

Yes, I've seen cellists here in Munich riding bikes with the cellos strapped onto their backs. It beats manhandling it on and off the tram.
I'm just happy that my flute fits inside my messenger bag.

I will admit that there have been many times that I've wished my bass were flute-sized. Life would be so much easier. {sigh} I've never even been able to get a sound from a flute, though, I think I'll stick to strings.
Give big space to the festive dog that make sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement with your wheel spoke.

I flout my flautistness. (and my oboeishness. and my percussivity. and my lefty-guitarinity.)
