[UPDATE: All this makes writer Mickey Kaus wonder if #TheyHaveMooseInChina?]
Do you prefer the original?
Or the parody, as recently seen on Fulton Street?

Thursday, October 6th, 2011NoPA Tableau: Accident-Damaged Bikes Live Forever on the Mean Streets of San Francisco
Friday, September 30th, 2011I don’t know how long this ride has been sitting locked up on Fulton in the NoPA part of the Western Addition but it feels like a period of months now:

Sometimes it falls down, but then people prop it up again.
The rear wheel has been pretty much taco’ed – see?
I’ll bet there’s a story behind that.
Now you’d think the cop who’s walking a beat in this area (while constantly swinging his billy club) around would notice at some point and have this bike hauled away…
You’d think.

Now, take this carcass into a bike shop and they’ll start talking about Chuck the Wheelbuilder and how great he is and then they’ll quote you a price that exceeds what you paid for the bike in the first place.
Oh well.

Homemade Bike Rack in the Western Addition Blocks the Sidewalk, Subjects Bicycles to Theft and Vandalism
Wednesday, November 24th, 2010I don’t know, seems like something that seemed a good idea at the time.
Oh well.
As seen on McAllister Street, home of the increasingly popular Snickerdoodle bike route, the one that’s faster, shorter, safer, better than the vaunted Wiggle* for getting to and from Market Street and the Panhandle area, for multiple reasons:

Sunday, November 21st, 2010This is the scene these days at 747 Howard, Moscone Center North, just outside of the otherwise-tepid 53rd Annual San Francisco International Auto Show.

See?

Things get a little tippy:
Now, I’d never own a Range Rover product myself, but you, you go right ahead. The electronic wizardry is amazing, anyway.
