Spotted parked in the South End, you know I smiled when I saw this racy-looking chromed red singlespeed, with a rose on the handlebars.I imagine the person who rides this bike - probably someone who is usually a speedster, but was given this rose-ring by someone dear to them and so s/he abandoned the minimalist aesthetic to keep it close, there on the handlebars.
Or maybe it's a conscious reminder to 'stop and smell the flowers'?
Whatever the story, I love flowers on bikes in general, and the dichotomy of this mental image in particular.
