    Early (EARLY!) holiday shopping

    Afikomen has bicycle menorahs.

    I think the silverplated one is prettier, but it costs more.

    That bicycle menorah is awesome. Some of the others were very beautiful, and very creative. The silver one does look a little more classy, I guess. Both are cool.

    Can't say you weren't thinking ahead

    Somehow I was thinking a menorah you put on your bike. Would be so difficult to keep lit.

    I kind of wonder if that photograph wasn't reversed, because the painted version shows the drivetrain on the correct side.

    SB - there are electric Menorah, I bet one could hook up a battery powerd Menorah on the bike... Hmmmm, could be fun!

    Could be, although I think that the photo would have to have been taken with a non-digital camera. Any photographers out there who would know?

    Unless they flipped the photo deliberately?

    But the silverplated version is very, very pretty.

    Thank you SB, now I have to clean off my monitor (TJ's lemonade with ginger).

    And if you put it on the rear of the bike, like on the extracycle, it could catch your Camelback on fire "hey, lady?!".

    I thinking the wreath on the front of the bike, like trucks do would be easier, kinda nondenominational....but less aero.

    I have one menorah but had never given much thought about having more than one....now, hmmmm.

    Now I have this mental picture of a large group of Jewish cyclists, some very Orthodox, in a big ride, each with their bike menorah. Very pretty.
