If your Christmas tree is still up this morning then unfortunately there’s nothing we can do for you apart from hope that if your bad luck extends to comedy bike crashes on the snow and ice they’ll all be filmed and you’ll send them to us. We won’t give you £250, but we’re way classier than You’ve Been Framed.
The chances are if you’d followed the latest Christmas tree trends and had your lights and decorations powered by cycle power then you might have given up on them in plenty of time to avoid the bad luck. As well as the Copenhagen tree we told you about, New York jumped on the bandwagon and powered its New Year Times Square decorations by pedal power, so globally you could have a fitter and more environmentally friendly entire holiday season. Although it does seem that only one city at a time can manage it before we all get a little tired.
Not only can bikes be a way of lighting up a city for a short period, or at least managing a flickering bulb, they also appear to be a good way of catching criminals, as a man showed recently in China. I think it’s nice that bikes aren’t just being stolen regularly, but are also helping to stop thieves. Don’t tell them or there’ll be a spate of people nicking small things hoping that they’ll get a bike lobbed at them as a follow up.
With all the severe weather floating around I’m sure that, like us, you’ve been looking for some riding out of the wind and snow. Quite possibly, this Red Bull event might be the answer.
Also good practice for those of you who live in anything other than a ground floor flat, to liven up the first bit of your commute.
