As I took this photo (and possibly posted it first in this thread too) I thought it might be interesting to see how many tumblrs it passed through before finding its way back here again. It really is amazing how many 'blogs' there are which are just straight copies of each other and this thread, endless lists of the same bikes over and over and over and over...
All of life's a variation on a theme and there are only so many stories we can tell. 'Last night was so great/crap because x/y/z happened'. 'I'm so happy/sad because of x/y/z'. 'Shall we go to the pub/party/cinema/dinner/stay in and invent a new chromosome?'. 'My job/relationship's so bad/great/doomed right now'. We all think and do much the same things, so it's not surprising the internet behaves in kind. What is is how fascinating it remains when all the stories we've told and heard zone us out.
