That totally makes me want to get a teddy bear on my handlebars. I'd name him Coupe-vent, and brag about he adds 10hp to my ride! There would be stories about how Coupe-vent was filled with helium so that he made my bike lighter, how he had an internal turbine to propel my bike faster, and how when I stopped to look down at the GPS once, he alerted me to danger ahead and saved my life.
The only thing he wouldn't do is pretend to be Bruce Dickenson[SUP]1[/SUP], because if he said "more cowbell" once, he'd be walking home.
Soon after everyone would wonder why they don't have a handlebar mascot[SUP]2[/SUP].
