I don't know about you guys but my first thought was where to fit an esky and would they let you take it to the footy/cricket.

Looks very uncomfortable. They need a genuine Brooks leather saddle.

Judging by the position of the mirror they spend a lot of time in the right hand lane.

Only natural, the right hand lane's the drive side in Canadia. Yes, there was a real cycle tour happened on that very couch. Actual story starts HERE.

....... We may not have ridden the fastest or traveled the farthest, but we most certainly laughed the hardest. And in cycling as in life, I think that's about all that really matters

Oh great! Anyone with half a brain can see by the position of the brake lever that they are from a country with left-hand drive, but you have to go and spoil my humorous contribution to the forum by pointing out the bloody obvious.
:P

Anyway I heard they lanesplit with a coffee table. (great story though stryker84)
