HUBshot - a new craze?

Across the internet a strange, new social craze has been growing in popularity. And Blip has been caught up by it.

A deluge of pictures are being shared by bike riders posing with their bikes in strange, famous and unusual settings... with their bikes held aloft, above their heads.

But what's it all about? And will it become the new planking?

It's called a HUBshot (HoldingUpBike shot) and it seems that the Blipfoto Cycling Group has been early adopters of the craze.

But what is a HUBshot (HoldingUpBike shot) and how do you get involved?

The rules would seem very simple:

Cycle to a location, hold your bike high, above your head and take a shot of you and your bike and the place you've cycled to... The stranger the location the better.

In fact, here's a short video showing you how to lift that bike, without, erm, too much stress or strain.

We're caught up with it. So, why not share your HUBshot with us on Blip. In fact, why not share it elsewhere too? (If you're on Twitter use #HUBshot hashtag.)

We will look out for more of your shots, but in the meantime lets just have some fun...

Here are a few HUBshots that have been shared on Blip already, for your inspiration (we've not tagged them, so you'll just have to see if you recognise yourself - or other Blippers there). You'll find more on Blip. You just have to search.

Remember, you saw it here first. Hopefully.
