If it’s not too late, I’d like to offer a pointless prize:

This is what’ll getcha it.
For you selfie daredevils out there, this is the Danger Panda Pointless Prize:
To qualify, you must:
- Take a current pic or vid from overhead and have at least a little of both the bike and yourself in the picture
- Have both hands off the bars
- Be in forward motion and not be leaning on anything or anyone
- Be riding a bike. Tandems and trikes don’t count.
- Be looking into the camera (at least 1 eyeball visible)
- Not crash after taking the picture
- Wear a helmet. We don’t necessarily have to see the helmet, but if it’s clear you’re not wearing one, it won’t count.
Doing all the above will get you 1 point. The following will get you more points:
- +1 for each foot visibly off the pedals
- +1 for each foot on the top tube
- +1 for video of and done by yourself in the danger panda position (3 second minimum)
If you’re crazy enough and do all of the above, you can max out at 6 points (1 for entry, +2 for both feet off the pedals, +2 for both feet on the top tube, +1 for video). This danger panda pic of Dirt (which I’m using without his permission) is an almost perfect score of 5. A vid would have gotten him 6 points.
IMG_1500 by Pete Beers, on FlickrEach picture is graded separately (i.e., points are not cumulative from all your entries). The pic with the most points wins. If there are ties, there will be a vote by the forum for a winner.
Please accept your own actions, and do NOT:
- Get hurt
- Attempt if you don’t know how to use a camera while riding a bike
- Try it if you aren’t totally comfortable riding with no hands and doing silly stuff on the bike.
- Try this in traffic or around cars
- Sue me
I won’t take responsibility for anyone hurting themself!
Post the picture or video in this thread, or a link to it so it’s easy to find. Entries accepted now (2/12/17) until Freezing Saddles 2017 ends.
Begin!

And this is why The Rules were made.
Not to put too fine a point on this, but this is why I ride an elf: to protect myself from reckless cyclists behaving badly to win pointless prizes.

So you drive an armored vehicle on the road? A tank perhaps? That way you could take up two lanes of regular traffic.

Video, if this link works:
I think there are three solid seconds of eyeballs, but I was riding into a blinding light this morning. But yikes, shaky much?

Yay! Perfect form. 1 for the panda +1 for the vid = 2.
You and BikeEveryDay are tied for the lead.
Judd and SteveO, this is how it’s done

If someone posts riding Danger Panda in the snow today, then they win … just mic drop.
Chuck, no more egging allowed from you until you post one of yourself. You’ve got 6 days to get the squeaky panda horn!
