bike related comedy fails i've seen!

I was enjoying this thread, right up until the skirt wrap/guard hi-Jack!

That was my favourite part...

My fault. But genuine WTF when I first saw it, and every time I've seen it since, for over four years. TBH, I've seen more forks on backwards than skirt guards. Indeed, that's the only one, and living on a popular cycling thoroughfare, I must get about 100 cyclists a day passing by. I'm a little surprised by how admired they seem to be on here though.

For over four years you've had WTF moments looking at this bike

Now that you are enlightened, you could propose to the owner a more modern upgrade.

this Apollo came in, the brakes weren't working very well, they'd obviously lost some of the parts, but no worries a hudraulic hose brake olive will do!

when you can't find the best way to mount the bracket for your lock on the frame so the fork will do!

Wow! Thank you. In the unlikely event that I ever go riding in a kilt, I'll remember that.

If you're as well endowed as me you'll then need a schlong guard to keep the old chap out the spokes.

Do you usually ride naked

Not since the magistrate told me it was my last chance.
