Wodpecker.jpgStrange things seen on a ride.
#7 Woodpecker
Chicken's day off.
Jo Burt has spent the majority of his life riding bikes, drawing bikes and writing about bikes. When he's not scribbling pictures for the whole gamut of cycling media he writes words about them for road.cc and when he's not doing either of those he's pedaling. Then in whatever spare minutes there are in between he's agonizing over getting his socks, cycling cap and bar-tape to coordinate just so. And is quietly disappointed that yours don't He rides and races road bikes a bit, cyclo-cross bikes a lot and mountainbikes a fair bit too. Would rather be up a mountain.

Well the worm won't go hungry...
Yuck.
No Pay, No Say.
must have taken an eternity for woody to peck that pothole before choking to death on the worm
That'll look great on your mantlepiece.
So did he fly into it, or trip over it? Maybe he was pushed? I know it was the chicken's day off but can he account for his movements?
Clearly it'd be alive today were it not for the pothole.
unfortunately, that's his tongue
looks like its frozen. how queer.
see, this is what happens to the early bird...
But he did catch the worm.
Just didn't get long to enjoy it, poor thing...
