A red "Kia" (as in the car company) branded cheap hybrid. It says "Don't drive" on the down tube, which I find wired for a car company. Have only see the guy who rides it once. As I am putting on my lid, gloves and shades in the bike shed he comes in in normal clothes, tucks his trousers in his socks and off he goes.

Today, wedged between the Raleigh 10 speed (hasn't moved for many months, needs new wheel) and the black BSO (about a month I reckon), was this.

Sorry about the crappy mobile phone picture.

A Felt Scythe Cruiser.

No idea who it belongs to, but it must handle like a P.I.G.

Oh, I dunno, I bet she handles very nicely.

...umm.  A surfboard.  Which is odd because it hasn't rained here for a few days now.

I haven't seen This Cosy Beast at our work, but I did see it along the Prom at Portobello (Edin branch) at the weekend, shuffling Chernobyl children around during their annual stay here.  It looked like a lot of fun.

Oh - and check out the 32 wheels down the swiss alp video.  That looks a bit fast...

Too right it was. Kept falling off like that, which eliminated one or two of the engines. I had fitted crank shorteners for one more engine. All in all, we were severely underpowered.

Which was some consolation when we heard that the Rugby club who had it the previous week had done Birmingham to London or something...

A GT RTS-3, resplendent in early-90s purple, still with just about all the original kit.  8)

More historic than weird, though it's not the only bona fide full-susser* parked at work. Now that's weird...  ;)
