  1. Cap'n Ska says:

    That guy is just trashy..

  2. Perhaps he was just canned.

  3. Bakpao says:

    Third. I don’t think it offers any protection

  4. Jacky says:

    4th?

  5. Captain Atom says:

    I like the couple in the background. Are they high fiving?

  6. At least he won’t be getting any bugs in his teeth.

  7. \Sordid Distress/ says:

    So that’s what Buckethead Looks like when not on stage.

  8. DrB says:

    Hahaha, I get it! He’s off to play tennis in long pants?

  9. Minbad says:

    I think we might have a basket case here.

  10. Aja says:

    Putting your head in the bukkit fail.

  11. John Ordinary Smith says:

    He just needs more attention from people.

  12. Pete says:

    Practical AND cheap.

  13. lydia says:

    He just bought a trash can and had to get it home somehow.

  14. gadfly says:

    He’s carrying the bucket, not using it as a helmet… note the bulky item in his backpack.

    FAIL ATTRIBUTION FAIL.

  15. iObesity says:

    The youth of today…

    *tisk tisk*

  16. Duroc says:

    Anybody here from SFO?

  17. pbean says:

    He is clearly just transporting it, rather than using it as a helm. Think about it, if you had to transport that item no that bicycle… how would you do it? Exactly…

    This is a FAIL on the poster’s part.

  18. loufail says:

    It seems like Don Quixote found Mambrino’s helmet.

  19. His derby puts me in mind of an old Lonnie Donegan song.

    ♫Oh! my old man`s a dustman he wears a dustman`s hat
    He wears cor blimey trousers and he lives in a council flat
    He looks a proper narner in his great big hob nailed boots
    He`s got such a job to pull em up that he calls them daisy roots♫

  20. slatfatf says:

    could this be the elusive BIN LADEN?

  21. Tj says:

    New from Bell: the Trash-met, it allows you to ride your bike, be safe, look stylish, and clean up your streets at the same time!! It is a Quadritasker!! BUY IT NOW!!! $129.100!!!

  22. McBee says:

    Behold! A member of the last surviving chapter of the Knights of Ni!.

  23. goooogo says:

    the way i analyze this pic is that he just bought that bin, and it was the only way to take it back to his place

  24. bwggy says:

    Maybe he’s just doesn’t want to swallow any bugs

  25. The Moomin says:

    He obviously got bored of people asking ‘where’s yer bin?’ when he got back from bike rides.

    • Arthur Eld says:

      I thought he misspelled something. That’s what the bukkit is for, isn’t it?

      *squeezes ankle*

      • The Moomin says:

        Something like this?

        Det. Danny Williams: You are charged with mis-spelling in a built-up area.
        Det. Steve McGarrett: Bukkit him Danno!

        Doesn’t look like Hawaii though.

        *ankle squeeze*

        Have a good trip?

        • The Moomin says:

          Huh? Where’d the rest of the message go?

          How did the adventuring go? It’s good to see you back!

          • Arthur Eld says:

            The first part was very nice, swimming in the Baltic Sea, sightseeing and good food. The only problem were several million lady beetles which invaded the coast. Something which happens every 25 or so years. That was amazing and annoying at the same time.

            In about an hour my GF will return from Italy and we will be going to Heidelberg tomorrow. Yay! So I won’t be able to post much, not today and not until next week.

            How are you?

            • fuzz on the concept says:

              sounds nice
              *alto cinque’s Arthur and his gf*

            • The Moomin says:

              Wow! That must have been quite a sight, and what timing to catch it! Did you get any photos?

              Glad to hear you’ve had a good time so far, hope the next week is even better as you travel together :) We’ll miss you comments on the blog though, so you’ll have to come back with grand stories of adventures to make up for it.

              I’m fine thankyou, had a foodfight yesterday :) No idea who won, but it was fun! It looks like we may be in for some sun this afternoon. Eek!

              • Arthur Eld says:

                No photos, we idiots forgot our sim card for the camera… *headdesk*

                But there’s a clicky which shows how it looked like.

                • The Moomin says:

                  Awww No! I’m so sorry to hear you have no photos of your own.
                  Thankyou for the clicky, that’s a scary amount of ladybirds!

          • Loz(enge) says:

            *squeezes the moomin*
            *runs off giggling maniacally*

  26. EdGruberman says:

    “YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!! I’M DRIVING!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!”

  27. Monique says:

    lol ive got that bin

  28. Alice says:

    Paper-bin bike transportation WIN

  29. General Timothy John, 2Lt of FAILton! says:

    Good Morning America… Good evening Philippines… this guy gonna rush on to his job…

  30. Sniffy says:

    That’s what I call a sticky situation :)

  31. Wimp. says:

    Where the other fail?!

  32. courtney says:

    HA, this is on the moderations for FML…

  33. smilff says:

    I actually think the guy is just trying to keep the bugs off his face and out of his eyes while trying to stay cool.

  34. bunbunr says:

    yeah lol..

  35. Worst says:

    HEY! I didn’t give them permission to put a picture of me on here

  36. willySTL says:

    That is a transportation WIN

  37. jack kerouac says:

    Can’t you all see that he’s just feeling a little blue?

  38. bikerider says:

    wow, what a fail!
    both of his tires are flat!

  39. lewis says:

    this guy rides the fail.
    he’s a win.

  40. Lara K says:

    Check out the original blog on this photo.

    http://www.montagueco.com/blog/2009/07/bike-commuter-using-his-head/

    David Montague was the one who spotted this kid in Boston and snapped the shot.

  41. Gru says:

    Did he die??

  42. Tim says:

    I’m not sure if this is a helmet fail or a moving win…

  43. Dave says:

    I took the photo. On Commonwealth Ave just in front of Boston University, Mass (USA). It was in early May 2009 when all the students were moving. My guess is he’d probably just moved, needed a trash can, bought it, couldn’t fit it in his backpack, and decided to use his head. -best alternative to tying it to a string and dragging it. He was moving at a good clip (despite no air in his tires) when I drove past him, then I stopped at a left turn light, and saw him catching up. I opened the passenger window and held my camera straight arm across the passenger seat and rapid fired the shutter while panning. It was total luck that I got any good photo at all. The company I work for makes some great commuting bikes (www.montaguebikes.com, http://www.swissbike.com), although none have a trash can holder.

  44. x says:

    kinda like that one mr bean episode…
    way to go, rowan atkinson

  45. MIZZYPIE says:

    I hope he gets a ticket

  46. FAIL Blogger says:

    This is an epic FAIL because 1) the guy’s not wearing a helmet and 2) the two people in the background think the guy’s a F-N idiot. So, our hat’s off to you, O’ bastard of the basket. For you may not always know where you’re going, but we certainly know where you’ll be!

  47. jack kerouac says:

    He’s just a basket case. If he crashed on his head the witnesses would say, a tisket a tasket a basket in a casket.

  48. Nicholas says:

    Just tie it on with some string and BAM! Safe and economical.

  49. Santajones says:

    Fake

  50. dsprack says:

    I’m pretty sure this would be a WIN if this guy was funny in real life.

  51. Greg Stump says:

    The latest in bicycle helmet fasion.

  52. Lovethenorml says:

    what a waste

  53. Hugfangi says:

    What’s wrong with this? this is the easiest way to carry that trashcan on a bike :P

  54. waylon says:

    Ouch, still. That would totally bite the big one if he ate it. You know that wouldn’t be a happy ending.
