Sounds like a fun and creative challenge! I love the idea—gets people out riding and thinking outside the box. “Under a bridge” is a solid start, too—simple, but with lots of room for interesting shots. Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with. Let’s gooo!

Seems rather like a spambot to me. Same username pops up on lots of other forums - plenty of European ones.

When I was on Holibobs in Majorca they were ten a penny, along with Omoda and Lynk & Co.

Who the fuck are Lynk & Co? (they're owned by Geely and Volvo apparently).

Next up,a pic of your bike with something of local (to you) interest and an explanation.

This is a pic of my bike outside the entrance to an air raid shelter, all that's left of an airfield that was once in the area. It's significance is that it's where, on March 5th and 6th 1939, the legitimate Spanish government was flown into exile. There's a small visitor/education centre there as well. I've yet to do the underground bit, I will at some point. The website gives a great explanation of the place:
