Man on a highly decorated bicycle.

When I was on a bus on North Street at about 11:50 today (Feb 1 2012) a man on a pedal bicycle passed by going towards the Sheepscar junction. The bicycle was very colourful, being very highly decorated. I wonder if anyone else saw him (though you could hardly miss it if there!). I wonder if he is a regular sight or perhaps he had just made something for the soon coming West Indian carnival. It was certainly a very unusual but fun sighting.

Is it he?http://www.secretleeds.co.uk/forum/Mess ... ID=3509Had music, bicycle looked like a Harley and had (blue?) lights all over. I should have taken a photo.

Hi Jogon.No it would not be that. It was though a very colourful highly decorated pedal cycle. I was so engrossed at the bicycle as it passed the bus that I did not really see if the rider was also decorated.

Great photo uncle mick. I think the bicycle was probably not quite as well decorated at the rear as that in the photo but that at least gives a good example of what I saw even if it may not be the same person riding it.

Saw him again today outside the mosque again.Hooded so not able to see him properly.The bike looks to have 3 wheels inline as opposed to a tricycle,I suppose that the 3rd wheel is a dummy one.All sorts of day--glo decorations on board.

You mean a 3 wheel in-line unicycle with no front wheel? that is cool.

No one managed to get a pic of him yet? Not even a phone pic?
