People transporting ladders by means of bicycle

From The Maze Where Realities Converge - the psychedelic encyclopedia of reality from The Ultimate Comment

People transporting ladders by means of bicycle is so part of The Ultimate Comment. If you can grasp why and how, you're well on your way to enlightenment.

The phenomenon is one of those things that everyone sees and thinks about, but that nobody ever seems to comment on. Chances are you've seen somebody carrying a bicycle through the streets and asked yourself, "How hard is it to avoid hitting things with the ladder when you turn?", "What's the best way to secure the ladder?" "Why doesn't whatever construction project they're working on have a car or a van?"

By commenting openly on what are otherwise left as inner experiences, we aim to bridge the division between minds, to reassure one another of the existence of other people's consciousness, and thus bring people together, enabling greater joy, imagination, social and personal development and all that jazz. Such is the power of well-aimed comments.

Furthermore the transporting of ladders by bicycle seems to be a sort of national quirk of the Irish, an everyday example of the attitudes and lifestyles of a people.
