signs (no bikes)
footways are for pedestrians
i used to think walking was a relaxing activity. but it’s not. party i think because i move at speed. and most other people don’t. and my speed is generally constant and other people’s aren’t.
bikes on pavements are a very annoying thing. almost as annoying as nearly being run over on zebra crossings i find very vexatious. is that a word ?
as from now on
my colleague harry came rushing in to my office yesterday lunchtime saying he’d spotted these excellent signs. i followed his instructions and found them. they are indeed magnificent.
‘as from now on’ is a bit wordy though isn’t it ?
lock up your bikes
all we ever see is ‘no bike’ signs. so here’s one which tells you to lock up your bike. oh the difficulties of modern life.
no bikes
a whole selection of no bike signs
they DO take them away
here’s a photo i took in mid June. just got round to posting it !
fancy handlebars
my ‘no bikes’ category has evolved in to any sign with a bike on. so here’s one with fancy handlebars
not quite right
this is a very strange sign. inspect in more detail and we see the cyclist has only one arm, no feet and is cycling up a river.
evolution
this reminds me of one of those ‘ages of man’ evolution posters.
diana memorial garden
you might have heard about the diana memorial garden ? it’s been a bit of a classic – originally a nice idea but went all a bit wrong when people slipped in the water channel. oh well
it’s actually looking very nice now
and see how many categories i can put it in: no dogs, no cycles, people, royalty and slippery floor
no.bike. punct
uation
worth clicking to inspect his one, sent by Andrew. he remarks on the punctionation and spacing. it reads like a poem.
padlocks bad
no padlocks. tape and combination locks are fine
