a purple harley-davidson sportster, maybe...

not to get all news of the weird on you, but...

according to the daily telegraph, a man was placed on scotland's sex offender registry for "trying to have sex with a bicycle."

wearing only a white T-shirt, naked from the waist down. "The accused was holding the bike and moving his hips back and forth as if to simulate sex."

dang. you mean, like a ten-speed? really? i won't delve into the ol' j-school who-what-why-when-where-and-freakin'-how questions, but come on! can you think of a less harmful fetish? me neither. that's why i'm gonna have to oppose the use of the registry for this one.

my last bicycle was a decidedly unsexy ross 3-speed that i picked up at st. vincent de paul's for $15. we enjoyed a healthy platonic relationship for many years, traversing madison's east johnson street through rain, sleet, and snow. the daily telegraph reporter failed to provide a picture of the scottish bike in question, so i'm printing a photo of my li'l purple dream bike. as inanimate objects go, this one is hot...

Other than the bizarre behavior, I find the circumstances of arrest to be equally odd. The man was in a locked room with the bike, when he was 'discovered' by two maids that opened the door. Some things seem best kept quiet, especially when behind locked doors and not harming others.

agreed, mike. there doesn't seem to be much of a public safety issue on this one...
