Bicycles

                 

When I see a photo of bicycles, it makes me want to own a bunch of bikes. I have to admit, I am not a biker and to be totally honest I don’t even own a bike. We have no room. The kids bikes hang from the ceiling in the garage in the winter and in the summer they sit out on the basketball court and get drenched or parched by the rain or sun. Our shed is in the process of being built.

I guess I am not the only one who is captivated by these images…

By Judi Roaman,theaccessorator.com. “Recycled, Reclaimed, and Recolored. When I happened upon Billy Taylor’s handcrafted, recycled vintage bicycles in Aspen, I had a momentary vision of riding around NYC on my own retro-chic Schwinn. Thank goodness it lasted only a moment. But, I did seriously consider shipping six to my house, to accessorate my garage. Color coordinated of course!”

Even Robert Rauschenberg was taken with the bike. This is an outdoor sculpture is in Berlin, Germany.

When the shed is done and I buy a bike…this is the one I should get!
