Extend it a little, Alan: "ginge".

This was a picture of a "commuter bicycle" which was posted as an ebay
aution ;-) ...

" Original Council issue White Bicycle, white tyres,
white frame white saddle. Only ever used on cycle paths. Buyer
collects. Rare ultra-lightweight bicycle now for sale You see them
all over the place, but they very rarely come up for sale - and now
is your chance to buy! Be the first to own this fine example of urban
design which has throughout the years become part of our very
culture. The ultra-thin profile gives excellent manoevrability -
getting you through almost any gap in traffic. The low-maintenance
design means it can be used in almost any weather, will not be
subject to the usual wear-and-tear inferior models suffer and will
give many years of pleasure to its owner. Be the envy of your friends
as they struggle to work in their over-rated £3,500
carbon-fibre-framed dura-ace specced sub-13lb (wow so much?) Lance
Armstrong wannabe lumps of 3D waste. This fine example has been
lovingly maintained by the local council and looks as good as the day
it was made apart from the rear tyre which is a little worn and will
need replacing shortly.

The auction disappeared with several days to run, after 33 bids - the
top bid being 10,000,000 quid ;-)

 

That's sad. Some people really do have too much time to get worked up
over trivial things.

I would like to complain that the lanes show only pictures of
crossbarless bikes, thus indicating that they are only for women, thus
excluding men, forcing us to ride on the road [1]


[1] which I do, I only use cycle lanes when they offer a shortcut
