Quite a few still knocking around Yorkshire after last year.

I like the cow, it'd look good outside my house.

For the 10 minutes before it got nicked.

There's still the odd painted bike near me, from the women's Tour earlier in the year.

That cow sure puts a smile on your face, or it did mine.

There's a plastic cow installed on one of my regular routes. It's a grazing one tho' so a helmet wouldn't look so good.

I was there yesterday... that's Doddington's dairy in ...er... Doddington. There's also Bradley Twiggins in Wooler: (and loads of others on the Tour of Britain route).

Bikes are meant to be in colours of Northumbrian flag. Doddington's dairy sells ice cream and cheese from a 'trust payment' cart. Used it yesterday.

They've put a bit of effort into that one!

Here's mine from last year - it's silver this year.

Here's this year's version. It was ripped off the wall a few months ago but it's been there for a good few years.

[QUOTE 3868676, member: 9609"]Not sure why ? but loads of places round here have old bikes painted up and stood at the side of the road - this farm even had a life size plastic cow wearing a helmet ?

Is it me or does that figure in red look strangely familiar?

There are loads of them and I was sitting pondering how I could get a rather nice 1960s Batavus down from the top of a pole a few weeks ago as I would like to have it!

I must get a photo of the "knitted" bike outside a wool and craft shop near where I work.
