Friday Caption Contest - Summer Holiday Edition

Congratulations to last the winner of last week’s caption contest - Tom correctly identified “Heinrich demonstrates how to pee on the move through his new sturmtek urine wicking tights“. Actually, that reminds me of a story I once heard . . .

Anyway, we’ll be sending Tom a pair of these excellent and stylish cycling tights, just as soon as they clear quarantine, and inspection by our top boffins.

For this week’s competition, as it’s nearly the summer holidays we’re going camping, with this photo of a sculpture by Kevin Cyr (go and see his site - especially all the layout drawings & interior photos!):

One lucky winner of this week’s caption contest will win a great prize that I know you’ll all be clamouring for - a fortnight’s bicycle camper touring in the Swiss Alps, the Pyrenees, or the Scottish Highlands*

Good luck!

*Small print: No alternative locations are available. You have to provide your own fuel - recommended daily intake of 100,000 cals. No responsibility can be taken for any mechanical failure of the Camper Bike - especially the brakes. Look - basically you’re on your own on this one, unless you have passengers in there. And they’re probably just going to be raiding your minibar, so you’d better HTFU and work those pedals.

    I will suggest that option to Rusty. He’s always on about a mobile home for the Tour de France. It’s certainly a home, and looks quite mobile.

    Breaking News: We are receiving reports that Jeremy Clarkson has suffered an apoplectic fit, whilist visiting Brooklyn, New York. Eye witness, Kevin Cyr said, “I just rode passed this big car stuck in the gridlocked traffic, I was using the separated express new cycle lane. I when looked the big car, I saw Mr Clarkson starting to froth at the mouth…”

    When I said we should have a cargo bike caravan, that wasn’t quite what I mean…

    When you go touring, do you take every thing but the kitchen sink? Oh hang on…

    Thought bubble above camper/cyclist… “Hmm. Did I remember to turn off the stove?…”

    To all the shaved lycra racers on your 2kg bikes… HTFU!

    ‘….but you’ll look sweet, upon the seat of a bicycle made for seven.’

    The photo has been cropped. It doesn’t show the long line of cyclists behind swearing and trying to overtake. Bloody caravan riders!
