Thank you, @vincav81 for sharing your thoughts on the pedals. I’m thinking at two versions of the owl:
1) As a desk lamp automation similar to the Pinocchio from your linked Wikipedia article:

The up and down movement in the animated Gif above is probably necessary in order to ease tensions since the wood puppet can’t tilt its hips as a real cyclist.
Of course, the owl would then need some kind of support or magic (indicated by some visual effect) to keep it upright.
Since we don’t have electricity, our owl lamp would get it’s light from burning oil or candles.
2) As a guardian on Omar’s stone bridge. In the night, the eyes would turn into searchlights for intruders 😉. This owl would tilt its hips and the wheel would tilt accordingly. The animation would need to indicate that the owl with its monocycle is pressed onto the ground by the heavy concrete umbrella.
