Are you suggesting rigging an online poll? @Velocio will be outraged.

Lol @Velocio would never 😜

Guilty. Probably cause I have an electric bike now.

I think he should put the fucking bike in the hangar.

Meh, those bike hangers are just magnets for thieves. I see quite a few of them that have been cut open as I walk/cycle around.

There's probably a better indoor solution that a rack in the kitchen, but that doesn't make as good copy.

How high are the ceilings? When I first got it, I was going to store my bike 'flat' against the ceiling (I still have the filled holes in the ceiling to prove it) using a couple of pulleys and rope. My ceiling is 2440mm in height. Unfortunately things got out of hand and one bike quickly became five...

Apparently it is possible he could be elected even if in jail. Bonkers.

I want to see this happen, this is democracy manifest!

They should put one of those pedal mounted hangers in the hall that way it would be less obstructive.

Get your hand off my penis!

I see you know your judo well.

Ugh, now I'm craving a succulent Chinese meal

Can you imagine the secret service detail in the cell with him?

Not to mention having limited phone time to the outside world and the wardens listening in to "top secret, classified" phone conversations. The US justice system might just explode

The cyclist known as the Unabomber has died in prison. He had an IQ of 167, went to Harvard at 16 and became Berkeley's youngest ever professor at 25. He claimed his bombs were an anti-technology campaign, intended to undo the harm wrought by the industrial revolution. But actually he just hated everyone because he couldn't get a girlfriend. He even poisoned dogs. https://nypost.com/2022/05/14/my-next-door-neighbor-was-the-unabomber-ted-kaczynski/ https://helenair.com/photos-a-look-inside-the-unabombers-montana-cabin/collection_41103cf1-dc68-5950-babc-17861f0b8858.html#1

These are his bikes.

It's obvious from the bars on the one in the foreground that he was a wrong 'un. If only his neighbours had known enough about bikes to spot such a glaring red flag. He could so easily have been unmasked before he'd killed anyone.

Should the security service be profiling Foffa owners?

Foffa

No. Their bars are nice and normal.

Why leave out MK Ultra? There’s no justifying acts of terror, but it would be odd if it didn’t impact on Kandinsky.

I don't want to dwell on the effect that might have had on the kid. Too horrible.

Kandinsky

Certainly looks like the effects of psyschoactive drugs...

Ape Hangers were popular when I was at school, but Cow Horn bars were the most popular style, inspired by the speedway on the telly and Evil Knievel.

Lol, auto correct. I prefer Miró anyway.

Tough story, mother jailed for inducing abortion by obtaining medication during lock down by giving false information about number of weeks pregnant

After the first theft on 15 March she found a bumper via Facebook Marketplace, only for it to be stolen again weeks later on 10 May.
She said she now suspected thieves were selling parts quickly and cheaply online.
"It is ironic, because the person I bought the bumper off are probably the ones who've stolen them."

Probably?
