Early warning of a CC civic duty

[Arch]

Right, I know it's only August but....

In the course of this thread:

the suggestion has arisen that we should all kit ourselves out with Christmas trees this year. Not like Christmas trees, but with them. I know poundshops often have little battery LED/fibre optic ones, nearer the time. I reckon as many of us as possible should pledge to fit one to our bikes come the festive season... Or at least fairy lights

We could make it a little competition, see who can have the most stylish/outrageous decoration....

Oh most definitely!
(says she who has tinsel wrapped round the flag pole of her 'bent during the festive season..)

Edit.. And there's my festive lid! Ho! Ho! Ho!

As festive as i got, it was for the boxing day 10TT, i did the TT on a 65" fixed

Outdone by a Steve Adams(some may have heard his name) who had a cardboard raindeer on his bike
I have thought of putting a rack on my fixed to put a mini xmas tree on, but i suppose i could always put one on the rack hole

I've done fairy lights and it's great fun. I wonder if I could put a tree or two on my rucksack...

Last night, driving over to a mate's, I saw four guys cycling up the road in the dark and not one of them had a single light on.

Last christmas day I had red tinsel on the back of the bike and silver on the front.

Santa was cycling around Bangkok last year

I've got Tommy Cannon and Bobby Ball switching on the lights on my bike this year!


Aww look at it - I'm all excited!!!!!!

The 'Clunker' is going to get the fairy lights and mini xmas tree treatment this year.

 

[CopperBrompton]

I'm game, but none of this is to be done until a week before xmas! I see some shops have started selling xmas crap already ...

That is the most ridiculous, childish suggestion I've read on this forum so far.





Count me in!

 

[SavageHoutkop]

I shall try... I'm not quite sure I can fit a christmas tree on without mucking with my fold (brompton here), but I'll definitely put some tinsel on my handlebars & possibly other extremeties even if I can't find fairy lights the right size/fit.

I suppose I could dangle a little tree off my seatpost....

Or perhaps toy with my front luggage and abuse my folding basket to become a tree holder...

i made a corroplast sleigh for the duch cargo bike,(aka the ark) year before last. it may have been a bit much for the hull scene, who didn't really enter into the spirit of the thing shall we say velocison loved going to school in a sleigh though, even had christmas music pumping out of speakers under the seat via an ipod on the handlebars.....cool
though in terms of 'tinseled up' i reckon i'll be hard pushed to top it this year, but i'll still join in

velocidad - that's fantastic

Love the lights underneath - did you pinch the idea from the local chav Corsa drivers?
