Put your left foot in and pull you left foot out

And all the Who's down in Who-ville
Yes the big and the small,
Hopped onto their Who-mobiles
And rode right 'round Who-Hall.

Obviously it has coaster brakes activated by back-peddling, rather than caliper or disk brakes activated by hand levers.

One advantage is that the rider always has two spares.

We have an overabundance of entries and I got caught up at work so I couldn't check sooner...

We have a couple of honorable mentions:
Dirk Villarreal Wittich: The new mine-cleaning equipment of the Talibans in Afghanistan

VW Bobier: The 1st Bike with run flat tires...

Our 3rd place:
klc53: Re-inventing the wheel, and they said it couldn't be done.

Our 2nd place:
Julie: These boots are made for biking...

Our winner:
Mumps: And all the Who's down in Who-ville
Yes the big and the small,
Hopped onto their Who-mobiles
And rode right 'round Who-Hall.


PM on the way.

Time to declare a winner....

Well, the rules state 48 hours, and while I understand the urge to keep things moving, this has been a pretty active one.

In the spirit of the captioning, is it not acceptable to let it continue as long as it's being active? :-) I commonly don't get to each thread every 24 hours, and have missed chances to caption a few that were closed quite rapidly immediately after the minimum 10 captions. I think it's more fun if there's more insights.

EDIT: That said, I guess I need to gladly say thanks for the win and find something to post! :-)

Maybe this?

Sorry Mumps-I only commented because I was PM'ed a nastygram once for letting it go over 10.

If a camel is the result of a horse designed by a committee, this must be the result of a camel designed by a committee.

Who's Griaffmmal!

As to the numbers, or time limits, Beets wrote the rule. After about 15-20 entries it gets a bit hard on the judge as well. If practical, I think at least one trip through the time zones ought be allowed so everyone has some kind of chance, but I can't change the rule.

Hmmm, must have chosen poorly here. 13 hours and nothing new? And still not 10 captioneers? My-oh-my... What will ever become of this...
