Welcome Earthling.

That sounds so much more appealing than a 70 mile commute to Swindon.

Can�t think why?

Welcome.

Do the lions take cyclists?

If they do, we need a few over here.

My thoughts, exactly. But, those pictures look nicer than the rainy 51F outside my window.

Happy Halloween.

In case you encounter one on a ride, elephant waving its ears is a warning or threat. When its going to charge it pins them in.

Welcome

Looks like waving to me, but I can't be sure. Proceed with caution.
