Here is our collection of funny bike signs.
Sidewalk Ends – Trouble for Bikes
Can you imagine what a cyclist says when they reach this sign (below)
– Sidewalk Ends?
Then, just around the corner…
Cyclists dismount and use footpath – FOOTPATH CLOSED
Another Cycle Friendly Path?
Imagine little old grannies peddling their bikes up that path.
Jonathan points out that the sign with a white disc and a red border actually means that cycling is prohibited. But Jonathan also points out not many folks can cycle up, or even down, those stairs!
Welsh Cyclists – Strange But True
A road sign has appeared during August 2006 in road works being carried out in South Wales between Penarth and Cardiff. To English speakers the sign is quite clear and cyclists are happy to carry out its instruction to dismount. However, to speakers of the Welsh language, the message is very different. Welsh speakers have confirmed to Will that the road sign translates roughly as ‘bladder disease has returned.’ You couldn’t make it up.
Officially this vehicle is a cycle, but my friends and I have always call them bikes.

So You Think You’ve Had A Bad Day Cycling?
Robert Evans, 46, had a really bad day recently, Will and Guy have learned. Read this short and hilarious [but not for him] account of his day.
Firstly, Mr Evans, from Boulder, Colorado, USA, was knocked down by a car in a hit-and-run incident and was taken to hospital for his injuries, but was released later that night only slightly hurt. Then, as he was making his way back into town with his bicycle he was hit by a railway train while crossing a bridge. Luckily he was found alive, in a creek, and taken to hospital for a second time; once more his injuries were found not to be life-threatening.
This tale of woe does not end there, Will and Guy have established; because the 50ft long bridge on which Mr Evans was run over by the train is only wide enough for the train, and is not for use by pedestrians.
Robert Evans, now, to add to all his problems, faces prosecution for trespassing. You couldn’t make it up!
