We had to show participants how everything worked before they took the bicycles out. Most people had a good time with the project.

The main issue with something like this is getting people to record their own audio. Something about using ones voice seems more personal than just texting or commenting on something in writing.

Most participants were just listeners. They did not contribute content.

Of course this will bring up issues of power and control, but for a moment I would like to bracket that conversation and ask if the two authors would share a few remarks from participants. While many may think of this as the preliminary talking buildboards and spaces of sci fi films, something that is always painted in totalitarian light, this seems fun. What did participants report? Did they think it was fun? Were they disturbed?
