Decorating your bike can be a device to discourage thieves. But few of us would spend the time going as far as the owner of this machine, spotted in Kennington the other day.
Maybe they just had a few half-empty pots of paint left.
They've even decorated the lock. Ah, but now it won't match your other bike.
It's not about lycra. It's not about racing, or saving the world, or crossing the Nullarbor Plain alone except for the film crew.
It's about the best way of commuting, shopping, sightseeing, socialising, partying, and generally just getting from A to B every day: by bike.

"... spotted in Kennington, ..." accidental or otherwise a wonderful play on words
