October Critters on Bicycles Drawing Challenge!?

Kind of dropped the ball with the weekly updates. It was all just getting to be a bit much, when I'm never sure if anyone's actually even reading stuff!? I am on track to get to 6000Km by the end of the year. Just have to do an average of 20Km/day for the rest of the year (that will put me over, I can miss ten days and STILL make it to 6000Km!) 

This is sort of cycling related... 

I had this idea for an October Drawing Challenge...  

I like drawing critters. 

And bicycles. 

And often, critters ON bicycles. 

People often do drawing challenges through October (Inktober, etc) - sometimes working from a prompt list… 

So, I thought I might make my own prompt list this year. 31 Day of Critters on Bikes!? But what critters to draw? What bikes are they riding? What are they all wearing? 

That is where you come in! I thought I would draw 31 bicycle-riding-friends and followers as critters on bikes! 

If YOU were a critter of some sort, what would YOU be? 

What is YOUR favourite bike to ride? 

What do YOU wear while out riding it?  

More specific details are better - otherwise I have to just make shit up.  If you have pictures feel free to forward them to me in messenger or email. I will try to do the first 31 suggestions I get (there are NO GUARANTEES IN LIFE, however!). 

Just to be clear - these are, for the most part, going to be anthropomorphic animals, like the others I've been drawing recently - basically a clothed human body with an animal head (may or may not have tail) - unless you wish to be illustrated as a participant in World Naked Bike Ride Day!?

Fine print: 

You absolutely can use the image I post based on your suggestion (for non-commercial purposes- i.e. like, you can go ahead use it as a profile pic on social media, but not as a logo or in an ad for a business, without my permission.), but I would appreciate if you would link said image back to me (either my instagram or twitter accounts, or my art blog) 

I’m probably going to do these all in a sketchbook (I like keeping these things all together in one place!) so originals will not be for sale. 

I may or may not post the pictures here... They will definitley go on my Art Blog and Instagram and Twitter, so check them out there:
