Pannier Pumpkin

Happy Halloween. Winky smiley face.

Here are some Halloween rides (and last year's pannier pumpkin).

Hellish Helmet & Pannier Pumpkin

Happy Halloween

Following last year's spokey shenanigans, I have again Halloweened up my helmet and bike.

Take one pumpkin, a bungee and ALL the back lights and voilà, you have a pannier pumpkin. This year's chap is particularly cheery.

My hellish Halloween helmet

It might not be massively scary but was epically embarrassing when it glowed in this dark serious lecture theatre the other day. Awkward.

If you want to carve a bike into a pumpkin, these guys show how it's done:

A Spokey Halloween

Bike lights are great for lighting up pumpkins. You don't have to worry about burning your fingers trying to drop a lit tea light or setting fire to curtains. That Halloween was particulary scary. This year to save time switching my back light from my pumpkin to my bike and back and forth, I decided to just put the pumpkin on my bike.  

I also pimped up my turquoise Bern helmet (modelled kindly by a pumpkin).

I've also been wearing a mask on the back of my head to scare the bejesus out of people behind me.
