A bike with a thousand pedals?

Looks more like a centipede, to me.

It's an adult Hemiscolopendra marginata (Florida blue centipede), common in the southeastern U.S. This one was found in Tennessee -- ordering a custom-made, 40-pedaled Raleigh Retroglide cruiser.

Jdege-
Are you pettifogging today?

The centipede and millipede rarely live up to their names. The terms "hundred-footer" and "thousand-footer" are often used interchangeably.

Not in my world. My mother was a school teacher, and her mother was a school teacher, and her mother was a school teacher - all the way back to Priscilla Mullins, the schoolteacher on the Mayflower.

Arrant pedantry runs in my blood.
