In the fall of 2006, a group of odd-looking travelers cycled into Beijing on some very strange bicycles.

They were the Cyclowns, a traveling street circus and band that plays a very European-sounding mix of jazz and tunes that they have picked up on route from Turkey, through Georgia, Russia and Mongolia to Beijing.

In this episode of Danwei TV's Hard Hat Show, we talk to some of the people in this rag tag group of Bohemian street artists about their travels and their way of life.

You can find out more about the Cyclowns, including some very vague schedules of their next destinations, at Cyclown.org

This video is also available at Danwei.tv, where you can find links to other ways to watch and download the video.
