Ohio apparently has 2-3 separate "crazy bike ladies." The one in dayton would generally roam around and yell obscenities at traffic. Apparently there's one in the canton/Akron area as well as Columbus.

Some years ago, we had Thong Cape Scooter Man. The name tells you exactly what you need to know.

Lol, we had this guy in my hometown, except he didn't wear a robe, he wore cowboy clothes with LEDs sewn into them. He was lit up like a Christmas tree.

We had a dude *that daily would go walk with a pet duck. *that looked like Jezus *that was known for shooting in his living room *that never bathed *that was coocoo and always walked zround smoking a big cigar.

5 dudes one village.

Schreeuw Jezus (screaming/shouting Jesus) in Eindhoven, The Nederlands. Some guy shouting about Bible stuff and Jesus.

We have a guy who rides really slowly around on a bike in bizarre, seasonally inappropriate outfits. Like, a leopard print loincloth, crop top, and something resembling a turban in February.

The town I grew up in has lots of things named after the that guy of yesteryear, I think, but I can't think of any from when I was growing up there.

But San Francisco used to be almost entirely made up of that guys.

We have the world famous Bushman (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Famous_Bushman) who dresses up like a bush and jumps out at tourists.

We had the Brown Twins (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marian_and_Vivian_Brown) who were just fabulous older women you'd see out and about.

We have 12 Galaxies sign man (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Chu)

The Castro naked men which became the Castro men who wear cock socks sometimes.

And all sorts of others that aren't popping in mind right this moment.

My town had Cedric aka "Ceddars" who was just a typical slightly crazy homeless man, but allegedly he was actually rich and people claimed that sometimes when he was done begging a Bentley would pull up to take him home.

My town has the Q-Anon Shaman...

Horseback Jesus was a sub on reddit that never saw much traffic. I think there's more activity in this post than there ever was there. Fuck You Bob was the well known character in Kent Ohio. He would flip off school buses and mutter "fuck you" when you passed him on the sidewalk. Legend has it he ate an entire sheet of acid to avoid getting busted

RIP Sailor Dan of Saskatoon

Red letter media has mentioned Milwaukee Wolverine during one of their Neil Breen videos.

Not sure if he's still around, but the laughing man of muirhouse in north Edinburgh, organic Jim in central Edinburgh, and the Swede in Bergen (Norway).

My town had "the cat guy" when I was growing up. A guy who would ride around town with his cat in a carrier strapped to the back of his bike. Everyone knew who he was.

Clapham Common, South London, a person in their 60s who would wear only a tiny thong, a grass skirt, and ride their bicycle around in all weathers.

Sockhead, independently wealthy homeless by choice attempted murderer with 1 giant blonde dreadlock in a sock on top of his head.

We had a local street person who was nicknamed Aqualung who was a fixture here from the mid 70s to the mid 00s. Fan of the local minor league team, very private person. Was a rumor that Nick Nolte studied him to prep for a part once.

Frankie! He'd stand on the street and clap at cars. He'd draw money and try to use it, too. Some places accepted the smaller bills because he was actually pretty good at it.

Tricycle Santa!

My city has The Walker, a very gentle man who walks everywhere, has long chopped hair and at one point (maybe still) wore a Power Puff Girl keychain as a necklace. Some say his family was killed in a car accident, hence the walking. We also had "The Silver Fox" legendary "Mullet Man" who creeped around all the local bars but died relatively recently.
