Either it's too shy to come let us look or the image didn't attach to your post.

Abe_Froman 12-05-16 02:15 PM

Yea I can't figure out how to do pics properly...

You have an invisible bike? Cool

Abe_Froman 12-05-16 02:30 PM

Less invisible now?

Purdy.



I am envious of this.



Yes, the envy is strong.

Much better now. It sure looks like your bike is leaning against a tree that is growing in dirt several feet in front of a garage door. Is it?

It's so he won't be tempted to take the car over the bike.

:lol: Yes and no. That's my back yard, obviously. That's a smaller overhead door that opens into my yard. Tree is aligned roughly with the corner of the garage a foot or two past the end of the door.

That would be pretty awesome though if someone had a dirt/grass alley and just planted a tree smack dab in the middle of the yard. I've seen equally stupid things.

The last few years, I've put sleigh bells on my bike's rack. Woodstock Percussion sells small, velcro-ed bells, perfect fit the application.

I think your own vision might be compromised with all those lights around you. It's like looking out the car window at night with the dome lights on.

They are blindingly bright, AND they blink! I can't notice them if I don't look down though.

Every time I do look down I have a seizure and run into a tree though.

I haven't gotten my battery-powered Christmas lights out yet... maybe if the rain lets up after tomorrow.

I love it, but don't bike commute on Christmas Eve - Santa may try to land on you and squeeze in your chimney.

He'll definitely have a seizure from the blinking lights before he finds my chimney :thumb:

Did this last year also. Next year thinking about changing it up with a small tree on the back and Santa on the front.
