Is this the real* Fred? He rode 40 miles a day across America in a pair of cutoffs...

If he is, he sued the creators of "Touched by an Angel" because he said he was a representative of God, and the show really PO'd God.

My bike has a kick stand.:eek: Should I remove it? Will it clash with my new bike clothes?

Welcome back my friends to the post that never ends.

Just depends on how Freida you want to be.

Notice the neat weight-saving trick of riding helmet-free.

Must it be Freida? Why not Wilma?

Power hubs, as in generators for the lights etc? Maybe?

Or is that a "roller brake"?

Found a rare photo of Tom doing his metric:

Was that taken at BURNING MAN? What is that Hannibal Lecter-looking thing on his face?

You'll have to ask Tom. Perhaps when he was off the island, he...

That's his winged helmet, but he put it on upside down.

Spotted Tom Bombadil out on a ride again, trying to put the moves on some poor unsuspecting lass...

Poor?

Unsuspecting?

I beg to differ!

I see a brazen hussy, shamelessly trying to seduce a good and honest man!!! :D

Has anyone else wondered if this thread belongs in FOO? Kraftwerk did a song for this thread: "Europe Endless"

FOO? That is for mindless threads that have nothing to do with cycling.

I ways always under the impression that nothing is forever. That is thought provoking in itself.....

You're point being?

That this is the post that never ends! :D

I hope he remembers to clip out at the stop sign...:p

Another example of German engineering finding a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Wonder what the stand over height is on that one.

Is this the Seinfeld thread?

" Looking at [this thread] is like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky. You get a sense of it and then you look away. "

Its my birthday in January and I have just been paid the biggest compliment by my Daughter and her Fiance- They have hired one of my favourite cafes on my birthday for a party.- There is a snag though- I cannot ride to the cafe as it will get the tophat and tails mucky. They insist on that as I will have to give my daughter away in the double celebration. My Birthday and I am gaining another bedroom to put the bikes in in the winter

Sounds like the perfect occasion for a pedicab or a couch bike.

I can't decide if my new duds are more Fred or OCP. Your thoughts?

I would say OCTEOWAWKI.

I could have used a getup like that during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
