Hot new trends in cycling

I expect 1980s Human Powered Vehicles to make a comeback and be a key fashion accessory on Old St/Clerkenwell Rd this summer:

Any other predictions on the shape of cycling to come?

Me dad was testing one of those and flipped it over, in the olden days.

i googled 'i'm a fucking pussy and i want to look like a tit when i ride my bike' and found this new product which will surely take off in a big way -

That's got to be a joke! Just make some out of old estate agents signs like the motorcycle couriers do.

Great for round town. If they made the shell out of a fighter canopy it might even stop your pumpkin from bursting under that Shard lorry.

Those boobies look like they got the idea from a guy I've seen riding around with two round plastic bowls attatched to his handling bars. Early adopter innit. Looks like a fruit and nutcase.

The carbon fibre ones are nice.

c-cups?

i did think anyone riding with them would look like a tit.

saw a beautiful one of these on ebay a month or two back, but i didn't reckon i'd get £2.5k use out of it...

...the Curtis?

Yes, it was lush... went down to £1.5k and still didn't sell AFAIK

or get some windstopper gloves

c-cups?

Who would want a bra on your handle bars and if you did at least attach the correct ones.

sinclairs were very fun to drive, my dad still has one in the garage, its quite damaged, i used to ride around in it when i was a kid, they sometimes fell over and i got battery acid all over my clothes which left big holes

In the last two weeks I've seen three different young guys riding round in a permanent wheelie position, only dropping their front wheel when they have to stop. I reckon by Christmas they'll be riding round with no front wheels on, given the natural human tendency to take any new trend as far as it will go (cf arse-hanging-out-of-trousers look).
Any other notable developments in street-level cycling fashion?

Are you predicting the advent of the unicycle? Or perhaps the front fork will end in a skid like a helicopter's. Or maybe an elephant's foot?

I'm loving the elephant's foot idea. Or maybe you could stick a big white old-school trainer on the end of the forks?
