Can someone help me make a HORSE costume for my BIKE in the next couple of hours!!!
I mentioned this morning to my cubemates that tomorrow's cross race, we are encouraged to wear costumes and will receive a discount on entries. Well of course my coworkers want me to dress up and have decided I should dress my bike up as a horse.
I can take bike boxes from the shop to make my horse head and do something for a tail pretty easily, couldn't I? I have chaps and a nice Troxel riding helmet. Or instead of my chaps, I guess I should wear some black leggings and buy a white oxford shirt to go as an English rider.
What do you think?
Any suggestions on how to make my horse head and how to fix it to my bike? Any patterns out there on the net?
Jeni - Streamers
Done! Now for her debut tomorrow.
JiJi lost her tail on the second lap
Short story as we're going out to dinner - more later.
I was dismounting at the barriers on the second lap when I accidentally kicked JiJi's tail. IT FELL OFF! :eek::eek::eek:
Other than that, the front held up just fine. I will take pictures so you can see how I attached the front to the bike. The secret is to use a really really good bike box for your cardboard. Trek packs their new bikes in a double corrugated cardboard box. The Fuji's and Schwinn's aren't as strong. The Orbea's come in a good box too so maybe any of the higher end bike boxes will do!
Hit your shop up for their boxes. They're more than likely going in the trash anyways. Oh and don't wait to start your project until the day before the race either...
Oh and Mr. Silver - all of my bikes have streamers and always will - promise ;)
