Monkey Bikes
There seem to be quite a few of these on the roads round my way, also saw two in Ipswich on the way to work this morning, anyone else seeing these or is it just in this part of the world.

That's true. I help arrange and marshall a Monkey Bike rally and weekend meeting on the Isle Of Wight every year.
Some of the bikes are just stupendous, more money spent on then than most would spend making their full size bike a bit individual.
