My group gave me my newest bike for my birthday, today. (b-day's
tomorrow but there's just a chance that I wouldn't be in :-) so they
gave it to me today:
It's a bike about 5" high and a foot long. The water bottles are ball
point pens, the pump is a mechanical pencil. The rear wheel hides
paper clips, fasteners and safety pins, behind a disk, of course. The
brake levers are memo clips. The seat/seat post is a micrometer. The
front wheel has circle templates and a protractor and can be used for
measuring distances. With a little work you can use it as a
triangular survey tool to measure the heights of things. We measured
the height of the FAA tower to be 80 meters.
Now, I have lots of bikes and bike novelties, but this is the "most."

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to Ed...
<insert appropriate witty ending>
Are you really that excited with the new "bike" Ed,
or are you just fishing for birthday gifts from the net?

Well, I thought it was nice of the gang.
And no you don't have to be a hundred years old to do a century, but it
helps.

That's great!
And Happy Birthday Ed!
I wonder were they got it?? It sounds like a Sharper Image type gag ...
They're the ones that have that weird golf club, and stuff.
I bet you could mount it on your travel rack in the back for laughs! :-)
I must ask, does it have a bike stand??? (i.e. a kick stand?)

| 1502.4 | has a stand | CLYPPR::FISHER | Dictionary is not. | Mon Apr 23 1990 12:11 | 7 |
I has a stand that looks more like a trainer. the stand doea does
double duty as part of the "survey instrument."
I mentioned it to other and they said they had seen it in a catalog and
"a store."
