After a bit of a chuckle I thought that maybe I should make a proper BnC FB page, just so that it was reserved for good old fashioned bicycles and beer. Unfortunately someone else had already decided to take the name\/address and grace it with a sweet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/bottlesandchains\" target=\"_blank\">&#8216;BOTTLES AND CHAINS CREW&#8217;<\/a> logo, featuring a gnarly dude doing a sweet jump against what I can only imagine is the moon at some point in the future, after BnC&#8217;s global corporate buying power has conspired to have the BnC logo etched onto it in a size clearly visible from earth. I looked a bit closed and discovered a bunch of Romanians living in Transylvania riding full rigid mountain bikes in jeans. That&#8217;s more like it!<\/p>\n<p>I know we happily suggest that people join up by stealing the logo and claiming it, but the third stipulation of that agreement is to not be a jerk. I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;d actually expected random people to just make off with the logo and use it for their own nefarious ends (and lines of parallel-parked micro hatchbacks definitely classes as nefarious in my book). But now it&#8217;s happened we&#8217;re just going to have to take them under our collective BnC wing and welcome them to the family. I&#8217;m really not sure they know what they&#8217;re in for. Anyone up for a holiday to Transylvania? I know some guys there and I&#8217;m sure they&#8217;ve got some room on the floor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; So Dave pointed me in the direction of a bizarre facebook page for &#8216;BOTTLES N CHAINS&#8217; that&#8217;s using the BnC logo and posting photos of people wearing sandals on motorbikes and rows of those funny little cars that grandmas drive.
