All this chat about Shipping Containers, Man Caves, and a general nostalgia for countries where space is not at quite such a premium could only mean one thing: Ed's design for the ultimate shipping container 'Man Cave'. Some thoughts / guidelines for such a concept:
- Windows are cheating. This is meant to be a cave. Roof lights may be acceptable.
- Projector will lesson 'cave' feel through images of Alpine environments.
- Walls to be covered in bikes, bike parts, tools & plastic trophies from when you may have been good.
- Red walls will promote masculinity and aggression.
- Rubber stud floors good for spilling oil on. This will add to the aroma.
- Hazard tape optional but suitable if you want a hacienda vibe (add Madchester soundtrack?).
- Chesterfield's will add a nice pseudo gentleman's club ambience (add slippers?).
- 7 bike capacity would seem suitable. One for each day of the week.
Beer fridge??
ReplyDeleteJust above the bike stand. Leffe for the budding Flandrian? Asahi for the wannabe Shimano? Peroni for the Campynuts?
ReplyDeletethis is just what cyclesguff requires. Could we add one thing, a shower? I was riding upto my hubs in mud today, lovely.

In an ideal scenario I guess there would be a nice 'back door' entrance to the hoose with built in shower and slippers conversion zone... But otherwise, of course- the customer is always right!
