Giveaway #25: Riding in the rain


Posted by Amy on Tuesday November 10, 2009

There are lots of people who manage to maneuver their bikes in the rain, with one hand on the handlebar and one with an umbrella. This cat here did it, and well, it puts me to shame.

Need a reminder of how cool cats can be? Then you’ll love this print by Jamie Shelman, which is what we’re giving away this week. Comment to be in the running, and the winner will be drawn after 17th November.

Enter the code word*PIKA* and get 10% off your order at her shop too. Now you know what to get for that cat crazy friend of yours for Christmas!

UPDATE: Commenting has now closed, thanks for participating!

I’m always amazed how some people manage to hold umbrella while riding too. I’m sure I cannot :-P

Lovely blog here!

I’ve never been able to hold an umbrella and ride! I saw people doing this in Amsterdam and I was amazed.

I can’t ride my bike and hold a umbrella at the same time, but I’m sure that if someone can, it’s definitely a cat! They’re so cool! And so is this wonderful print :)

I know how to do that, but the poit is, you still get wet. We have lots of rain now, so i get home wet very often. I know seeing this print on my wall could cheer me up on a rainy day.

I am guilty of this crime….although the cat is clearly more elegant than any of my biking-in-the-rain attempts. Would love to own this print!

I unfortunately do not have the coordination of that cat to hold and umbrella and bike in the rain. I’m hard pressed to ride my bike with one hand even. The print is cute and shows us how it’s done.
