# Skeleton Clad Cycles Creepy Ghost Rider Hitches a Lift on Eric Tryon's Bike By Katie Cordrey | Published 2010-03-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eric-tryons-bike References: [thedesignblog.org](http://www.thedesignblog.org/entry/skeleton-bicycle-to-take-you-on-a-ghostly-ride/) & [erictryon](http://www.erictryon.com/live/) Eric Tryon's bike is a little creepy. The artist apparently decided he needed a bit of company on his boring and lonely rides, so he hooked up with this demon skeleton. The bony companion is permanently affixed to the basic bike structure and provides a bit of eerie fright for curious onlookers. Don't let the functional bit of Eric Tryon's bike fool you--Tryon is a serious artist. See some of his work in the gallery, including a self-portrait. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 21% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Creepy Bike Accessories:** Designing spooky bike accessories can offer a way to make cycling more fun and unique. - **Personalization of Bikes:** Customizing bikes with unique enhancements such as skeleton-themed decor can attract a niche market of consumers. - **Integrating Art and Transportation:** Collaborating with artists to create personalized bikes or bike accessories can create a new market for art and transportation integration. ### Who This Affects Most - **Bicycle Retail:** Bike shops can explore stocking unique bike accessories such as creepy skeletons to attract customers interested in personalizing their bikes. - **Art Market:** Artists and galleries can collaborate with bike companies on creating artist-designed bikes and accessories to explore a new market of artistic transportation. - **Event Planning:** Organizing events centered around unique bike designs, such as skeleton themes, can attract a niche group of cycling enthusiasts and create unique experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Barebones Motorcycle Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbones-motorcycle.md) - [Sleek Connected E-Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specter-1.md) - [Monochromatic Ghost Character Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monochromatic-ghost-character-sculptures.md) - [Hybrid Design Electric Motorcycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-electric-motorcycle.md) - [Transparent Electric Cafe Racers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crdos-ghost-concept-motorcycle.md) - [Customizable Aluminum-Cast Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heavy-bikes-hypocrite.md) - [Monotrack Bike Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monotrack-bike.md) - [Square-Wheeled Bicycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/squarewheeled-bicycle.md) - [Wearable Electric Three-Wheelers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-electric-threewheeler.md)
