Why not combine your passion for both like Roger Lima who is a composer, sound designer and [bike fanatic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-together). Roger Lima had a lively idea to record natural sounds his bike makes while interacting with certain components of the bike. He uses conventional kitchen utensils to tap the bikes frame, a cardboard box to swiftly brush the wheel, drum sticks to beat the [spinning tires](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rcyl-bike), and the sounds of air slowing being released from the tire. The results are an energetic, [techno-style beat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sound-maestro) mixed with a little hip hop that’s sure to get you pumped up and ready to ride your bike.
