A tired cyclist stuck his thumb out for a lift. After 3 hours he hadn't got anyone to stop. Eventually, a guy in a sports car pulled over and
offered him a lift but, of course, the bike wouldn't fit in the car. The driver got some rope out of his boot [trunk] and tied it to his bumper. He tied the other end to the bike and told the rider, 'If I go
too fast, ring your bell and I'll slow down.'
Everything went well until another sports car overtook them. The driver forgot all about the cyclist and put his foot down. A short distance down the road, they
hammered through a speed trap. The cop with the radar gun radioed ahead to his colleague that 2 sports cars were heading his way at over 150 mph. He then added, 'And you're not going to believe this - there's a
cyclist behind them ringing his bell to pass.'
A man on a bike, carrying two
saddlebags, was stopped by a guard while crossing the US-Mexican border. He had rigged up a primitive rope bridge to by-pass the customs control.
'What's in the bags? demanded the guard. 'Sand,' the cyclist answered. 'Take them off. I need to take a look.'
retorted the guard.
The guard emptied the bags and found out they contained nothing but sand. The man reloaded
his bags and continued across the border. A week later, the same man was crossing again with two more bags. The guard demanded to see them, and again they contained nothing but sand. This continued every week
for six months, until one day the cyclist failed to appear. A few days later, that same guard ran into the cyclist in Tijuana.
'Hey, where have you been?' the guard enquired. 'You sure had us wondering. We
knew you were smuggling something across the border. So tell me and I won't say a word. What was it?'
The man smiled broadly and told him the truth, 'Bicycles!'
A 48-year-old man from San Diego,
California broke the previous world record for stationary cycling by more than 11 hours. Pete Maisel completed a session that lasted 96 hours, 4 minutes and 8 seconds. In fact, he spent his 48th birthday with his his girlfriend, Wendy Gardiner, but in a different way than previous years. His goal for the
non-stop peddling was to raise money
for charitable causes and an upcoming bike trek.
Israeli industrial designer Amir Glinik uses the engine from a Ferrari Enzo
and some drive-by-wire technology from an F-16 fighter jet to create a V4
superbike worthy of the great Italian marque.
This is probably world's most expensive bicycle at just over £60,000,
[approx. $105,000 USD] think Will and Guy. Called the Gold Bike Crystal
Edition; each of the ten produced is hand-built and gold-plated with
24-carat gold, and decked out with over 600 *Swarovski crystals. Hand-sewn
leather grips and a Brooks leather saddle provide finishing touches to the
bike, with each limited edition number embossed with gold leaf and set into
a leather badge onto the bike's head tube. The business, Scandinavian design
company Aurumania, has also created a 24-carat gold wall holder for the
bike, so it can be displayed as a work of art.

Swarovski Crystals are high quality Austrian cut glass crystals that are
expertly faceted and polished to produce the finest quality crystals
available. The reason for their popularity is that they sparkle and shine
like diamonds.
