Longtime readers may remember my previous submissions in this category:
a bike with a wooden frame, and one with a toilet plunger handle standing
in for the seat post. Oddly, I saw both of those oddities along the same

And now, on the SAME stretch, another one. This one was (for the

There wasn't one. Fool was riding on the bare rim. I wonder how far
he got?

On some streets in the city where I live I see tooth-less delinquents
doing this almost everyday. Generally they are wrapped in a soiled
duvet.
