Unusual things seen on your commute

[Molecule Man]

I saw a briliantly customised bike a few days ago on my way home, just an ordinary mountainbike, but completely repainted in yellow, green and black, with several little Jamaican flags attached, and the owner was wearing a yellow and green tracksuit too.

A first for me anyway - as I was biking through Derby the other afternoon I and a good few dozen peds saw a very slow moving van collide neatly with a traffic light while trying to maneuver off the road and onto the pedestrianised area. It so nearly made it too.

The poor traffic light kind of screwed round about 90 degrees until it was facing sideways.

...two Japanese businessmen, in suits, playing ping pong in Centenary Square at 7am.

BrumAlison says that there is a table tennis table outside the QE.

New sport? Extreme Urban ping-pong?

Ping pong tables were all over paris last summer.

Glad to see they are moving to London.

The upright pianos are back again: it's wonderful to see people just playing for the joy of it

I've seen a unicyclist on my way to work a few times.
Mind you, he works where I do, so that's perhaps not all that surprising.
What was surprising was that he carries an ice hockey stick.
There isn't an ice rink for *miles*.

I used to see one when I got the train back from work, from Newcastle->Thornaby on a Friday evening. He used to get on at Sunderland, and off at Hartlepool IIRC, he'd just get off the train, hop on the thing and cycle away.

Certainly didn't take up much train space
