Handy Cam: reporting a ride by ketchup assault..Have a Mean Streak Or they have a strange sense of humor. I’m not sure what this poor bike did to deserve a ketchup bath and I image the owner won’t see the fun in discovering the decorative mess either. Perhaps this is a form of a t.p. (toilet paper) prank or leaving a flaming paper bag of dog doo on someone’s front porch. Seeing this ketchup-cycle reminded me of the condiment tricks of junior high, when kids would start Cuban sandwich pickle races by flicking the slimy disks at the window and then rooting on those translucent green circles as they slid a few inches before they stopped suspended on the hot glass above normal human reach. On second thought, perhaps every country has it’s mean/funny pranks.
Even Europeans..

Pickle races used to be big in Australia too…especially those unnecessarily found on cheeseburgers…not sure if the practice continues today, but it sounds like it might have been a globally recognised sport for a while at least.
I remember back in Canada riding my bike along the highway near Quesnel, BC and somebody threw an egg at me as they sped by. Splattered everywhere on the handlebars, and I was still picking bits out of nooks and crannies years later. Nastiness everywhere. Welcome to the world.
ketchup huh?

Urgh, as a bicycle commuter my bike is very precious to me. Somebody pulling a prank like that on it would get me royally pissed. Granted it’s fairly easily fixed, but still, it’s my bike, y’know?
