Steve Allen show, Frank Zappa Playing music on a Bicycle 1963

Steve Allen: How long have you been playing bike, Frank? (laughter)

Frank Zappa: 'Bout two weeks. (laughter)

Steve Allen: He probably was selling insurance or something and he thought, "What's something real jerky that'll get me on The Steve Allen Show? Playing bicycle, what could be sillier than that?" He did it, and here we are. That's probably how it happened. You've really only been playing two weeks?

Frank Zappa: Yes.
