That time of year again:
A time for bicycle conversion
This event was first reported here and here and there in 2008 and then here in 2009. We missed the 2010 tour, but this year we came back!
other trasportation
The Segway! Did you know it was first called Ginger? It’s because one of Dean Kamen’s balancing robot prototypes was nicknamed ‘Fred’ so naturally they called the next big invention ‘Ginger’. Ain’t them engineers a stitch!
Purple and Green Grapes
The original logo of Fruit of the Loom was developed in 1893 and included the grapes pictured above plus apples and gooseberries.
The Rhino Pirate
and Muzzled Giraffe
Note both pictures have a bamboo pole attached to the right fork of the bike.
Fat Tire Beer and Wonder Classic White
Back of the main stage: Fortified bread (what, maybe eight essential vitamins and minerals?) and beer? At least it’s not Smart Bread!
Not just beer but…
even more weirdest to come.
Lots to do here. Marcus Santos is in town next week and I want to get started on the TDF video NOW and have it done before Marcus arrives. How is that possible?
