Within eyesight of my flat
there is a bus stop. Nothing out of the ordinary there, except yesterday it had a rakish new addition in the form of a bicycle on top of it. Even that wouldn't be that weird normally, being as how I'm within two minutes of both a high school and a university, and if it wasn't some drunken students being ridiculous it was some school bullies stealing a kid's bike and putting where (s)he couldn't reach it.

No, what marks this out is that the bicycle in question is upright on top of the bus stop, as if parked. Someone has got up there and gone to some real and significant effort just to make people walk past and go "eh?". This sort of pride in one's work meets with my approval.

I once worked with
a slightly obnoxious but pretty harmless 17 year old, whose name I can't actually remember because we called him 'Flash'.

He used to ride around on an absolutely immaculate 1960s Lambretta, which was his pride and joy. (This would have been mid 1980's or so).

Me and another collegue one day carfully lifted this gleaming machine into a skip that was in the car park at work, and left it perched on top of the remnants of a roof.

That was a pretty pleasing bit of street art. He hit the fucking roof of course.

This one time in band camp...
Ok, it was the pub rather than band camp, but this rather dim witted guy left his push bike outside and went in. My mate and I - both being rather drunk decided to make it more secure by putting it up on the flat roof.

Much mirth was had when he came out and finally saw it. In he went again to ask if he could get onto the roof via the window upstairs (we'd just climbed up via the wheelie bin).

2 minutes later he came out with the landlord in tow and pointed up to the roof, "See? it's up th...."

Another couple of minutes and he'd spotted where we'd moved it to the top of the apple tree...
