You can't transport a grand piano on a bicycle.
It's possible with an extra wheel:

:-) Would like to see that going downhill...
As I remember, one of the modern classical composers, maybe even Cage,
once dropped a rock/boulder on a grand piano, as a performance piece.
Call it the penultimate prepared piano, second only to the explosive
one.
There's *always* a slope downhill...
Many years ago (1970s) I was at a concert in which an upright piano
was suspended on a steel cable going from the top of the auditorium
down to the stage. The (short) performance ended when the instrument
smashed into the rear wall.
But did it so purposely? Did it kill anyone?
An there was the French street theater group 'Royal de Luxe' who used
to launch pianos with a ballista. But they cheated, taking out the
metal frame first.
Right now I'm watching Queen of the South on Netflix. Reportedly it has
been largely inspired by narcocorrid0.
Forget ballista, forget metal, anything at all. Narcocorrido is the
worst sort of music you can ever find. It's all polka, with tuba
baseline, melody from happy men and accordions/harmonicas, all telling
about real life where men and women are killed, and their children
raped. Being rid of their eyes, to polka tune.
None of them had anything I'd call artistic about them... :-(
I know the type. Being a libertarian and a well-versed amateur economist
myself.
Most people who talk economics, do not in fact understand economics. My
kind included.
