decorated bikes

In Paris, last month, I spotted these gorgeously-decorated bicycles on two separate occasions. Decorated bikes always make me smile.


My town bike, which I bought used in 1997, has a front basket where I have woven cloth flowers and a lei from my Hawaiian vacation several years ago. She's out of commission right now after the cable to my rear break snapped early one Saturday morning when I was on my way to clean the beach. I rode her the rest of the day with front brakes only. But considering that both cables are the same age, I won't do that again.
