Cocos Got Back

Some Cocos palms for you. Do not be distracted by the cyclist apparently wearing a heavy but cropped bearskin fur coat on a 37 degree day. Do not drop your eyes. Focus Cocos. There’s nothing to see lower down, stay on target.Do not under any circumstances look at the cyclist.  Don’t forget I’ll be on ABC Afternoon show with Gillo at 1pm today. I know she’s no Eoin Cameron ( aaaaarch puke) but unlike Eoin, she won’t be doing the same show she was doing 35 years ago.

    It’s would be bad enough having all that fur in 40˚C, but imaging the extra heat build-up as a result of the increased wind drag as well as the extra physical effort needed to compensate for it!

    Brave, brave heart, for sure.

    Most decidedly ‘not worst’.

      I’d say his hirsute condition may actually be quite effective in improving aerodynamic efficiency. Without the fur he’d be creating a much larger envelope of low pressure drag. Think dimples in the golf ball style.

      All lycra tosspot cycling suits should come with an additional layer of human fur for this very reason. We could be winning cycling gold, swimsuit style if all our Olympic cyclists looked like our grizzly friend here.

      Then there’s the additional benefit of cancer reducing SP factors, it must be up there with the finest reef oils available to humanity.

    I don’t think it’s Mad Dog, unless he’s traded his 70’s ten speed for a more modern bike. And bought some shoes.

    Superb.

    Such magnificently erect yet dilapidated palms.

    I assume this masterpiece is yours, TLA, as there’s no credit?

    Come to think of it…

    TLA: What compelled you to take that shot? The Cocos or the rider?

    You didn’t follow him for a few k’s until a Cocos came into sight? You could have got him with this…

    Did you follow him all the way to Dog Swamp?

    Did his tail Wag? Do Yetis have a tail?
