Bikes: a motley crew they be

Well worth a watch... The Bicycle!

Not sure if this has been posted yet but if not it needs to be... 7 and a half minutes of poetry, highly relevant to my interests! I larfed, I cried.

Good little movie.

Reminds me of my fleet. One of my bikes literally came off the pack of the junkman's truck as he was driving to the recycling yard.

Perhaps you need to set up The Bicycle Humanity Association, as an adjunct of the American Humane Association?

I think your right.....I'll need to shut down the puppy mil....er...ebay. When I think about how many bikes are dismembered and their parts sold on the open market for profit.... it makes me sick............hey, the Jack Daniels Eggnog is really tasty by the way
