that's just WRONG.

seems a bit harsh though. he hurt nobody, yet he goes on the nonce list. overkill for what amounts to using a bizarre **** method.

That has to be the definition of a desperate man

That's tragic for all kinds of reasons. And I notice his bike was a Claud Butler. You can already hear the lads down the boozer: "On top of everyfink else, he was a facking pooftah! Why couldn't he have chosen one wiv a noice girly name like Tracy Smith or Sarah Hunt?"

Agreed. Considering how going on the sex offenders register could make him vulnerable to all sorts, it seems incredibly heavy handed, not to say unnecessary.

Velopedephelia or Bicycle Onanism? Either way it's a victimless crime m'laud.:rolleyes:

It's bad enough we have to 'lock up our bikes' to stop theft, but will we now have to add some sort of Bicycle chastity chain?:eek:

And at what point of the Bicycle does the amorous bike lover erm...'enter'?

Ghost Rider

I assumed he'd removed the seat post and used the seat tube, but maybe I've been thinking about it too much...

I also love my bicycle, but not quite in this manner. Would recommend you read Flann O'Brien's The Third Policeman and The Dalkey Archice, warns against the over-using of a bicycle.

1. You answered way too quickly, which makes it look as though you've thought about it too much...though in fairness I posed the question:o

2. It's a reasonable conclusion, but I can't help thinking there would be a significant degree of very uncomfortable chafing...which then brings up the question of the appropriate lubricants, and on that note...

Ghost Rider

That's right, and very funny they are too. Someone around here has a quote from "The Third Policeman" as his signature.

Anyone interested in bike mechanics should always have a tub of grease to hand...

The cleaners were "extremely shocked"! I'd say they were. And the guy claims that it was "a misunderstanding after he had too much to drink.". Yeah, the misunderstanding being that he though it was ok to boink his bike!
Although surely a grown adult is entitled to do whatever he likes in private with a consenting bike. Not that I've ever.......I mean.....
I'll get my coat.

Why did they feel it was necessary to break into the room? What did they think he was doing?

I can't imagine myself getting amorous with my Langster, no matter how much I'd had to drink. Besides, I think she's seeing the Terry Dolan a few doors up, so already out of my league...:(

Fixies tend to be faithful to their partners. Maybe swap the hub to the freewheel (read "free love") side?

Keeping her 'fixed' is my only guarantee of fidelity. The freewheel thing is strictly for swingers.

You old traditionalist!

What did he do with the seat post then

It is a bit harsh though that he was put on the sex offenders list when he was in a room and the women I presume were coming in to clean it!!!
