Cycling Photo Challenge - Entries and Chat

[Auntie Helen]

Sorry I didn't choose the winner yesterday, was a bit busy.

Anyway, after much deliberation, I have decided that punkypossom's photo of Eric the cat performing the traditional feline cycle-guarding stare wins.

Honourable mention to Uncle Phil's amazing recumbent-balancing hound, and to the very sweet seal pup that Bittallfatbloke met in Basel.

So, punkypossom, over to you!

Here is my contribution (or Eric the cat's).... He was sitting perfectly framed between the wheels to start off with, but obviously decided to rearrange himself as soon as I got the camera out

Punky. I think you've hit a squirrel at some point, it's wrapped around your stem.

I won, I won!!!! I never win anything!!! Thanks Auntie Helen - Eric is very pleased with himself too!

As for the squirrel crackle, it's mini-eric...he was my Amsterdame mascott and has lived on my stem ever since...

Right, next challenge then.... Can I have some pictures of your bike with something weird, spooky or downright bizarre? So, it could be your bike with a flying saucer, a set of false teeth in the road, an elephant doing a handstand or anything else you might come across. Obviously, with halloween coming up a basic ghost would also do!

Pretty wide range there so I'm expecting loads of entries - get snapping!!!

 

[punkypossum]

Nobody??? Come on, it can't be that hard!!!

 

[Auntie Helen]

I'm thinking, I'm thinking...

 

[Speicher]

Punkypossum, you have mentioned Halloween, does that mean we have until after then to submit photos?

 

[punkypossum]

Well, I need at least two entries to decide on a winner - at this rate that will be after Halloween!

Not seen anything weird yet myself

The weird things may come out later in the week.
Perhaps people are waiting for Halloween, I know I am.
Will it count if I use the Staff Transport? (a bicycle).

Use whatever you like!

Thank you, I was asking because BigTallFitBloke eliminated me from his competition because I used a very very small bike.

 

[punkypossum]

Well, I suppose it would be better if it was a rideable actual bike...but hey, considering the number of entries so far, I'd better not restrict things too much!

Well this is a rideable actual bike, as opposed to one small enough for your ferret to use.

I did get an unusual delivery from Wiggle last week if you think this photo will help bump up the entries.
