To me this seems ridiculous - there are a number of themes that you can explore - one is that the bike is very low and another is that it looks like a disorganised assemblage of parts that somehow seems to move. You cannot avoid exploring similar themes when looking at the same picture. I do not consider this to be a copy but will gladly take it down if people feel strongly enough - I did not look at the other captions before writing one and the dupe detector did not pick it up because, in my mind, it is not a duplicate. I will leave it to other's views and will happily take it down, as I said, if the balance of opinion dictates
As the Halfords writer i have no problem as long as i get more votes ... It just reminded me of the Christmas where i refused to have the kids bikes made up in the shop as i knew how to do it better.
Barrie, there is a similarity in that the essence of both captions is an assembled bike which ended up looking like this rather than a regular bike. The author even acknowledges it is a similar theme.
amused having just logged on using my phone following the 'similar debate' to see that 4 of the top six captions on the current picture are variation on who dares wins ... not similar at all there then.

Similarity seems hardly worth mentioning :)

Similar, probably not. Very similar, yes. The only difference I see is Halfords/Ikea :)

They are totally different comments the only similarity is naming a well know store.

who dares wins is synonymous with the SAS, so similar captions are OK.
