So I have seen some pretty weird stuff on my rides. Most times I am on the handlebars pedalling away wishing I had a camera in my eye like the 6 Million Dollar Man (yes, I just showed my age but gee that was an awesome show). But sometimes I just have to stop and take a quick snap with my mobile phone in my back pocket. This morning I saw the biggest yellow rubber duck I have ever seen in my life. I think it is part of the Sydney Festival, and was here in Sydney last year.
For the record my ride this morning was a struggle as I was pushing against a mild bout of office communicated man flu. Still, my mate JB and I pumped out a good 80km and I fought through it to get some of my fastest Strava segment times. We took a detour through Sydney Olympic Park on he return. Perfect Sydney Summer morning for a ride, no wind, few riders, perfect temperature, and low humidity.
Off to the beach this arvo I think.

nice! for some reason, the duck has not made it’s made to the united states … yet.
Hehe, he probably can’t into the plane
yuk yuk … and paddling all the way over the pacific ocean to the states sounds like a lot of work!
The duck came to Pittsburgh, Pa late last year. Here is my post on it. http://wp.me/p23TG1-3aA
Love it. A very well travelled duck 🙂
Man … gotta love the duck! Can’t they just toss it in the ocean and see where the current takes him?
Awesome idea, and they should put a GPS & webcam on it so we can track on the net
It’s the famous “wat” duck!
Can you imagine if they needed to feed him

BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
Big Banana, Big Pineapple, Big Rubber duck, not that surprising really. But I doubt, or at least hope this is not to be the latest in the tendency to think gigantic artificial structures draw tourists to our shores!
I don’t think this one is permanent and not ours. I think the “designer” is either Danish or Norwegian. And it looks like this duck has gone all over the world. I agree with you, but I can’t deny that it stopped me pedalling to take a photo.
This would have been a good entry for A Word In Your Ear’s “Yellow” photo challenge: http://suellewellyn2011.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/a-word-a-week-photograph-challenge-yellow/
Yes it would’ve. I’ll go check out her blog later
