BSNYC Friday Self-Flagellation Session!

Firstly, as I mentioned yesterday, I will be unhooking a BRA tomorrow at 4:30pm at Cyclesport bike shop in Park Ridge, NJ. In addition to giving a short presentation, if enough people show up with Serottas, I will hold an impromptu Serotta pageant and award some sort of prize (such as a t-shirt that will turn you into a walking advertisement for this blog) to the winner. Of course, this is contingent upon anybody showing up at all, though I can't imagine there's anything better to do in that part of Jersey at 4:30pm on a Saturday--and if there is, I'd like to know about it, so that I can blow off my own BRA and partake in it as well.

Speaking of BRAs, the following weekend, on Saturday, October 30th at 2:00pm, I will be having another one at the Philly Bike Expo. Not only that, but the organizers are also offering a weekend all-access pass special that includes a copy of my book, currently #1 on the New York Times Bestseller list and the book Oprah Winfrey actually called "fan-fucking-tastic" when she had me on the show:

That's an entire weekend of bike dorkery and some light bathroom reading, all for the low, low price of $30. You'd have to be crazy not to take advantage of these big, big savings! What else are you going to do with $30, anyway? Get your genome sequenced? All that's going to tell you is that you're carrying the genetic marker for being crazy for not taking advantage of these big, big savings.

Speaking of "crazy," it is often used interchangeably with the word "zany," and Zany Bicycle Cockpits (or "ZBCs") continue to trickle in for the First (And Last) Annual BSNYC/RTMS Cockpit of the Year Award (or "Cockies"), the finalists of which I will decide at precisely the moment I get around to it. Unfortunately, since these "Cockie" submissions are more tardy than a messenger running the "Spokane tubeless," they are officially ineligible, though still entertaining. For example, here's one rider busting a sweet "elephant trunk skid" with some shopping cart bars:

And here's another late submission direct from the plumbing supply section at the Home Depot:

This car bumper cockpit, on the other hand, was submitted on time and in accordance with the contest rules, and thus will receive the full consideration of the jury:

Pending all of that, I'm pleased to present you with a quiz. As always, study the item, think, and click on your answer. If you're right try not to wet your shants with excitement, and if you're wrong you'll see the fixed-gear crotch cam, forwarded by a reader.

Thanks very much for reading, ride safe, and keep your hands on your "cockie."
