Angling for a ride ...

surely one of the best ideas for a "custom" bicycle is:
the Anglerfish art bike by Group D Creative Collective in Australia, recently seen in the Sydney VIVID 2012 festival.

The bikes are clothed in a tub-like structure, then wrapped in cloth, then illuminated from within - giving the effect of a lighted giant fish moving along as the cycle is pedaled.

Not cycling to school

Today, we visited a school.
An all-girls school.
We got a nice tour round it from a couple of students (c. 14 years old).
We saw a bike rack on the tour, and I asked where the other bike racks were (the rack we saw would have held about 12 bikes - maybe, just maybe, a few more than that).
I was shocked to hear the reply that we were looking at the only bike rack in the school!
