Have you heard? Next year the BFF are getting Paris Hilton to film her show here so it can be called Paris Hilton's BFF BFF BFF Street Party! For now though, it's just a regular street party. True, no boobies, but there'll be organic coffee, spoke card making, a promenade by the foppish Tweed riders making an appalling chivalrous itchy smelly stand against lycra, and - of course - the Bicycle Beauty Pageant.

Sadly, regrettably, the Melbourne Bicycle Film Festival is drawing to a close. It was great though, wasn't it? Did you catch BMX Bandits? How bad was Nicole's hair back then?! Dreadful. You can only imagine the woolly orange nightmare that must've been flourishing in her basement.

Horses are outrageously expensive and they shit everywhere. Bicycles on the other hand are much cheaper and don't have alimentary canals. So, get a bicycle, not a stinky horse, and peddle that little bumless bugger to the First Annual Australian Hardcourt Bike Polo Championships next week.

The ancient Aztecs (AD 1200-1521) believed that sunset was actually the death of the sun, and the only way the fiery orb could be ‘resurrected' the following day was by means of human sacrifice. 15,000 men were ritually slaughtered each year to the sun god Huitzilopochtli, and the victims, more often than not, were prisoners taken in wars.

Sweet Ride, the BFF art show
I'm sure the gym has its benefits, what with the treadmills and the headbands and the towels, but it's always been puzzling to me why you'd fork out to go to such a place when there are these wonderful inventions called bicycles which keep you fit and get you places, all the while forcing you to interact with the rest of the world and have crazy adventures.
