Concrete Circus – last night’s urban sports documentary on Channel 4 – while overly long, slightly up itself and ironically lacking in momentum (according to some crits) – had one spectacular redeeming feature. Stu Thomson’s short film of Scottish street trials rider Danny MacAskill tearing up a disused railway yard.
A thing of beauty.

This little dude has just ridden his bike for the first time. He makes us feel happy of ourselves.
We also endorse his views on rock ‘n’ roll.
The bikes, the locks, the barrier. Taken, like this photo, literally 25 minutes ago.
UPDATE: Or possibly, they were being returned (see comments). In which case: good news for anyone who left their bike locked to temporary barriers on College Green.
Nordisk Cryobank (European Sperm Bank) is one of Europe’s leading sperm banks and the company was looking at environmentally-friendly alternatives to how they could transport their sperm samples to the fertility clinics around Greater Copenhagen.
This is what they came up with. It’s called the Sperm Bullitt.
Let’s hope it never crashes into the Oestrogen Cycle.

Here’s a blog dedicated to drawings of A Horse With Hands Riding A Bike.
