Brickshelfer Crises has two cool entries for the sports-themed contest over at Klocki:

My current obsession may be all about microspace, but Shannon Young‘s obsession runs along more metropolitan lines. (Via MicroBricks.)
There’s something viscerally true about noddy‘s suggestion that Jehovah — creator of the universe, destroyer of Sodom and Gomorrah, the Pillar of Fire that led the Israelites into Canaan — rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle:

The latest builder I’ve learned is from Poland is Noddy.
In addition to a great series of bikes, don’t miss his retro-futuristic robots:
Cafe Corner continues to inspire the LEGO-building masses. Here’s Mark Larson‘s great “Deli Brownstone”:
