Since I live in the Arena, it has been suggested that I post this photo in the open population. (we in the Arena consider ourselves as being in the ZG/GTR isolation unit.) ie: maximum security!
This photo journalist was taking a photo of this Praying Mantis when it crawled up on this fern that was just before it extend it's leaves.
The photo is fantastic. The Matis back legs look like the back suspension, the second back set of legs (they have 4 sets of legs) look like the front suspension. Great seat. I call it the "Thorax" seat. (Corbin will copy it next week)
In the photos in the address below check out the fern's curled stems. They actually look like tires on rims!
Each person who look at this sees something else different, but they all see a great bike!
Dare I say a: "BUG BIKE?
Anyway, here goes:

Also posted in the Open Forum (I didn't know if this qualified as a rides and stories or a campfire story so I posted this in both forums.)
(It's been a long, long time since I have ventured out of the Arena)
