More London bike rack and an accidental Love Actually recap

Ahhh, London. I've never been personally, but I hear it's pretty awesome. It DID look cool pretty awesome in Love Actually. (And guys, I know you love this movie. It always get cited by dudes as "I don't watch chick flicks, but man! Hugh Grant was great in that!" Anyway. I digress.) I mean, they have bike rack directly in front of the Prime Minister's residence at 10 Downing Street. (Remember that scene where Hugh Grant just got elected PM and walks into his residence for the first time and gets inside the hall and sighs like he's thinking "Good lord..." - I've done it again. Sorry.)

According to P. Padilla, the journalists just lock their camera tripods to the bike rack, so that they can take off and have a cuppa tea or whatever it is they do, and also have prime PM-watching space. So smart, those Brits. I love that the journalists clearly came equipped with some ghetto bike chain.

As for the bike rack - kind of an interesting flat  base design going on here, too, that's different from most other bike rack I've seen before, but I appreciate that there is a bit of a handle-like design on the top to facilitate it's movement around.

Next up - some pretty spectacular bike rack found in the hall of Christ Church in Oxford (not to be confused with the bunch of other Christ Churches in England...and there are quite a few). Sigh of relief for you, dear reader - I'm not going to talk about Love Actually! Because duh, Christ Church wasn't in that movie, but it WAS in the Harry Potter movies as the site of the great hall. Thanks to B. Shannon (or Shenanigans) for submitting this - not only is this in a great spot, but looks like standard bike rack is also available across the pond for all your barricading needs.

For making me turn on the Pointer Sister's song that ol' Mickey Blue Eyes is dancing around to, and remind me that the last Harry Potter movie is coming out this month (!!! Let's hope it's not the emo-fest the last one was), THREE bicycles out of four.
