Hey guys,
Thanks so much for all the great info and ideas I've been harvesting so much from everyone's contributions to these threads.
We're running a workshop around positive consent during our bicycle festival which we want to be fun and accessible: i.e. not preachy or confessional.
We had thought that we'd do a couple of mechanical skills: puncture repair and wheel truing in the space; but couple this with some discussion around consent. But it needs to be safe for people who are there. We're bike mechanics, not therapists.
So had thought of a game involving bike puns (spinning out, going for a ride, whatever). So can you share your best bike pun? I'd love some more to add to my collection, so that they might be incorporated into a workshop.

Is all that 'wheely' necessary? Don't we find bike puns 'two tired' Or maybe I 'spoke' too soon.
I only say that cause sometimes bike puns just 'drive' me to exasperation. Mostly when bike puns yank my 'chain' I get really 'cranky'.
I guess I just need to get a 'grip' and 'shift' my perspective. Maybe that's the 'hub' of the problem, if only I could get a 'brake' and find my 'bearings' I could 'roll' with bike puns.

I used to work as a bartender but I got involved with community bike shops because I can't "handle-bars" anymore.
