This brings to mind an image from the 1980s. Peter Gabriel and his band were touring, and when they played in Philadelphia at the Spectrum, they stayed at the old Hershey Hotel on South Broad. When it was time for them to leave the hotel for the sound check or whatever at the stadium, they all got on bicycles and rode down South Broad ringing the thumb bells as they went.
