Default If John Howard Had a Bicycle...

What sort would it be? I can only picture him on a 1950's ladies model, with a basket out front.

Any ideas?

He would be the stoker on a tandem with George Bush

Sounds a bit more like what Tony Blair (British PM) would be riding..

John Howard on a Mercxx? If he is, surely in Lampre colours?

He wouldn't be riding anything, he'd be chauffered wouldn't he?
He can certainly 'pedal' some bullcrap though

If John Howard was on a bike it would be a tricycle (so initial balance is assured ) but it would have training wheels built in a GWBush factory becoz withou the support he'd be lost....

Of course the Oz factory that built the bike would be pissed but understands that expoorts are the key to success for any fledging Oz company)
