This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb

This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb was een folk punk band uit Pensacola, Florida. Aktief van 1997 tot 2011.

De naam van de band heeft voor de nodige consternatie gezorgd. In de Engelse Wikipedia lezen we het volgende:

On March 2, 2006, at 5:30 am an Ohio University police officer spotted a bicycle attached to the Oasis restaurant bearing a promotional sticker for the band. The officer saw the words "This Bike Is a Pipe Bomb" and became concerned. The area was cordoned off, and part of the campus was closed for several hours. The bicycle was subsequently destroyed by the Athens bomb squad despite assurances from the bike's owner that it was just a sticker. The owner, a graduate student, was initially charged with inducing panic, a misdemeanor. However, the charges were dropped a few days later. Later the student was awarded money for the damages to his bicycle.
