Your bike next to a Fig tree
That one's gonna sit a while. :lol:
I've got one in the garden, but it would be a hell of a job to get my bike through a couple of gates, up some steps, across a lawn, through a shrubbery and then park in front of it :lol:
And you've still got more chance of getting your bike next to a fig tree than most of us :wtf:

Likewise, though I don't have to get my bike through shrubs or up steps. My garden is a shithole right now, wet clay soil which is worse than an ice rink means I'm not getting the bike anywhere near the fig tree. :(

Well when one of you find one, take them leave and infuse them in some cream, amazing flavour

My neighbour has one in his garden. Can I park my bike by the fence between us, but with the tree in sight?

Will a fig purchased from Tesco pinned to any random tree qualify?

Had to do a little bit of garden navigation but made it - here we go.

Next - your bike with a christmas tree/decorations/lights - I've seen a few already :)

There's one bloke here who loses his fucking mind with this every year. He starts putting stuff up on Nov 1st & it takes him all month.

There's a house around the corner which does just that - they're known locally as the Griswalds :)

This guy is on two acres with two homes (his son lives in the other). They decorate the entire yard, both houses & all the trees.
