We’ve been away for a long time. But now (cue: drum-roll) it’s back!
This week’s photo comes from the Facebook Pages of Flying Pigeon Los Angeles, and features a rather smartly dressed chap riding a sensible bicycle:
Now obviously this needs a caption, and for the best entry this week we’ll be giving out another prize...

Remember last week’s caption contest, with the glitering prize of Bradley Wiggins’ Lambretta & parka coat? The obvious winner was Nathan, with, “Look Ma, no feet!”, and just as soon as we get all the mirrors off the scooter so it’ll fit into the box, we’ll post your prize to you.
This week’s caption contest...

OK - first up the prizes for last week’s competition. Some really smashing entries, but the winner had to be Primal Tuna, with “To all the shaved lycra racers on your 2kg bikes… HTFU!“.

Last week’s contest inspired some fierce competition - I guess the promise of a real prize rather than the usual virtual prizes we have on offer may have been a factor. Adam’s entry (”No no no. I said bake it, not bike it.”) is a clear winner, so I’ll be sending him some Toast...

First up - congratulations to Jim Davis for his winning entry to last week’s caption contest. His observation that the Raleigh Grifter had a long and painful development process that saw much of its purist refinements stripped out before S.O.P. hit the nail on the head. We’ll be sending Jim his very own time...

Friday again, and time for our caption contest. First though - the winner of last week’s competition was Jim Davis, who correctly identified that, “‘…..don’t be so silly. The bears wouldn’t set a trap like this…….’” is the perfect caption.
It made me laugh, because I’ve been toying with the idea of getting a huge...

The winner of last week’s Caption Contest was unfortunately anonymous, with their brilliant caption of “Mikael Colville Andersen tries to sneak on to Amsterdamize, in disguise…”.
But without contact details, I’m unfortunately going to have to keep the lovely shiny new bike that we had donated as a prize. Shame really, but there you go...

What on earth are these kids thinking? Surely this can’t be a safe way to ride, or is it just a new dance craze:
If you can come up with a suitable explanation for what’s going on here, just leave your answer below. Who knows - you could even win this week’s prize...
