Drink all day, play all night...it's BR in Miami, bitch!

I spent maybe five minutes making up ridiculous lyrics to go with this photo. I failed. Have you looked at the lyrics for "I'm in Miami"? They are ridiculous enough.

Hey! You looking kind of cute in that steel tubing bikini, giiiiiiiirl
Hey! This is what I wanna do, take off that steel tubing bikini, giiiiiiirl

Yup, not good.

Now I have LMFAO stuck in my head for the rest of the day. And maybe you will too.

Thank you to D. Sams for remembering me whenever he travels to exotic locales, and reminding me that Miami is way, way, way warmer than San Francisco right now. Damn, it is COLD out here.* Hence, two posts in a row (technically three!) of warm locations in the dead o' winter.


TWO bicycles out of four, because, you know, Miami is awesome (four bicycles) and the rest of Florida seems kind of meh (deduct two).





*Yes, I am whining about it being cold in California. I get that it's snowing all over the rest of the country but dammit, I don't live in the rest of the country for a reason! 

Hawaiian addendum

A little post script - neglected to include a photo from O. McMillian on yesterday's post in Honolulu. Towering stacks of bike rack, gleaming in the sun. Yay! Thanks sir.

Bike rack in paradise

First of all - my apologies to my dedicated readers (all seven of you...whom I love very, very much) - I know I've been slacking off the last couple of months, but I'm back and ready to write about that ol' steel tubing I love so much. I have so much to catch up on - so much bike rack, so little time! Who knew when I started this blog that we'd hit so many different countries and cities? I mean, I will do a comprehensive bike rack stats post in the next week, but I know we've posted photos from six continents already. (Oh, Antartica - I can only dream.) 

So to counter the dreary days of December, I'm going to start with a little tropical punch. Bike rack...in Hawaii! 

To the left, we have a stack of bike rack hanging out at in Honolulu, ready to be deployed. Note, this may be the first (and last) time I've ever seen something that is used as barricade being barricaded off by something else. Was the caution tape and cones necessary, guys? 

Next up: bike rack in the true barricade style, replete with STOP sign. Kind of redundant, if you ask me.

This tropical specimen is courtesy of one J. Dach, whom is always on the lookout for the rare spotting of a wheeled, double-sided rack such as this one. Also, note the colorful taping of the back piece. What's up with that? Does it help it blend in more? Or was it just in a festive luau mood? I like to think it's sporting the bike rack equivalent of a lei.

And now, bike rack actually being deployed. Here's another case of redundant bike rack - if the thick tropical hedges (read: there are some serious bugs in there) weren't enough to counter anyone jumping into the path, hey, maybe some bike rack will.

To finish off our tour of Hawaiian bike rack, check out the bike rack that's getting set up at Kaneohe Bay on Oahu. Military men + bike rack = true tropical heat. Just saying. 

And to answer your question, yes, I felt kind of weird and pervy for taking these photos, but the soldiers in the photos were all about me taking pictures of them. So that was also weird, but hey! All in the name of bike rack.

We end with a tribute to what I think is one of the more, uh, interesting squadron logos on a helicopter ever: "Easy Riders." 

Yes, that is a Hawaiian warrior about to pierce the hell out of a shark. Don't mess with him. Or his bike rack. And that easily gets FOUR bicycles out of four. Naturally.
