So I’m in Schladming with time to kill until the teams and riders turn up and the show gets going. I strolled around the streets and thought I’d take some pics of some signs.

I couldn’t quite work out if the first shop I saw was deliberately advertising itself as not quite the best brothel in Schladming.

I was in two minds as to venture inside…

…but when I saw they were advertising an “original wac holder” I paid my money and took my chances, (that was the best 5 euros I’ve ever spent)

A couple of weird signs including “no old vehicles”, “caution old man with hat doing robot dance”, “no hands in pockets”, “no exploding headlights” and “no motorbikes or cowboys”

Signs of the times
