    And so the metaphor of love became tangible, a physical manifestation of the mechanics of romantic relationships. Most were confused, and never quite figured out how it worked, yet the climbed upon the mechanical beast with two backs. Most were thrown, but a few, managed to survive long enough to give others hope that they could ride contentedly for the rest of their lives.

    @B52HVet: flippant reply aside, Deadwriter's comment gets my nomination for best comment of 2008. It's beautiful, yet like an authentic Persian rug has that single flaw - no, single omission that maintains its humility by intentionally avoiding perfection (the = they).

    Why'd this come to mind first?


    People let me tell you 'bout him

    he's so much fun

    Whether we're talkin' man to man

    or whether we're talking son to son.

    Cause he's my best friend.

    Yes he's my best friend.

    Cool, this is near my house, it's on the Calslaan in Enschede, the Netherlands. The burning spot behind the cyclist guy is probably from burning a couch..

    @Gillonde: Burning furniture is a tradition at the spring riots at the University near where I live. They usually co-incide with the time change weekend when the students get thrown out of the bars an hour early and someone just HAS to kill a sofa since they cant drink any more.


    For your history buffs, the first one was May 4, 1970.

    Awww people love to hate on this ridiculous shit, but it really is a sight to see on the street. I never have my kerflurgin' camera ready when I spot one. The best was this girl who had four frames joined together, two on each side, which effectively made this big four wheeled rolling scaffold.

    @Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: Tell me about it. They have these bright red crazy 5 seater bikes in NYC. One person steers and also provides pedal power along with the passengers. One night while my gf and I were in the city there we saw once being piloted buy a black 7 foot tall Wonder Woman who was more wonder than woman if you know what I mean. I told my gf the Invisible Jet must be in the shop. We had a good laugh and of course, me with no camera...


    Never a dull moment when in NYC.

    @jdbaile3: I used to wonder that until I saw one guy mount something like this. He had to like kick up and mount it and regain his balance. It was like a precarious hipster ballet, one that I vow to never take part in.

    This reminds me of those guys from the group called UFO that ride wacked out trick bikes that are two to four frames stacked and welded together. (Fun fact: A lot of them are responsible for the alien head graffiti you may have seen here and there if you're in NYC)

    Awesome idea. Now you have further to fall, so instead of just road rash, you now are almost guaranteed broken bones and maybe a better chance at death!


    Sign me up for two.

    So you have to pedal backwards, and there's no brakes? Sweet, sign me up.


    It would be cool to ride in a lake/river if the water was just the right height for that Jesus-bike effect.
