Before Moped ever stepped foot onto a live stage, there was Riding Solo. This debut album isn't just a bedroom recording by style--it was literally recorded in a guest room. With endearing tape hiss and loose first takes, these songs were born in the downtempo era of electronica and set the groundwork for what was to become of Moped.

To recreate the arrangements from the album for shows, Peter used loop technology with layers of live sax and bass over pre-programmed synth. The essential addition of Scott Eberhardt on drums validated them as a real band--rather than a DJ project. The CD manufacturing was handmade and only a few copies remain in print.
