I want to ride my bicycle

The bicycles I love.

The Dahon, 2008

A three speed Dahon curve which I sadly agreed to sell when lump’s dad found a buyer, made logical sense as I was going to be away for the next 4 years. Nifty little powerhouse. I remember the quaint rear rack I had installed which I used to strap down bag/book/magazine during trips to the park for coffee. One nervous attempt on the road. Oh, and the bell, little silver bell, most polite sounding bell, really.

Franky, 2007

Franky, I refuse to sell. I will love him till his tires breath their last pascal of air, till his chains are old and rusty, till his bars and seat corrode with age. Skull emblems on both sides, trying to look all mean and serious, but really, just a humble single speed with back paddle brake.

I miss my bicycles.
