Wambli Ska.....................?
"An American cyclist who accidentally signed up for a cycle race in the "wrong Birmingham" decided to make the transatlantic trip anyway."

"John Hoopingarner, from Ohio, flew to the UK to take part in the 100-mile Velo Birmingham, after signing up to the event he thought was in Alabama.
After realising his mistake, Mr Hoopingarner thought "well I made it this far, I may as well just go".
Mr Hoopingarner said he hoped to repeat his mistake next year."
'tis you?
Sibling?
Some form of genetic tie?
Kindred spirit?
Same GPS?
Just as daft as a plank?
A brilliant chap, just brilliant. :applause::tooth:

He can ride one.
It's just a **** to get on it.
That picture reminded me of a short story by Mark Twain and his introduction to the bicycle. Not one of his better known stories, but pretty darned funny!

Thanx for that - that was a Twain I'd never read before! Sent it off to a bike nut friend!
