My Dream: inspired by Patriot's Day at the Studio Cafe

You know what I wish?  That I could have every bike that I see, and could have a big old barn, with hundreds of those screw-in hooks, and keep all the bikes there, and ride a different one every day.

I'm not kidding, but perhaps if I explain yesterday a bit, it will at least make sense- I was down in Concord and Lexington for Patriot's Day (which wouldn't seem to be a big bike day, but boy it sure was).  Bikes (mostly road bikes) were EVERYWHERE down there.  So many that you're constantly passing them and you want (at least I do) to look at each bike, but you just can't for the safety of both of you.

I have a sickness- I know it's true- I would like to photograph and study EVERY bike I see.  Well, that's not precisely true.  There are plenty of junkers out there that I'm not at all interested in. 

But still, that leaves so many, many bikes that I'd love to study in detail.

And thank you, RideStudioCafe, for being there before the parade started.  And partly during.  You were a godsend.  Getting to read Rouleur and Privateer instead of sitting on a curb looking at nothing was beyond a miracle.  Especially since the parade started an hour late.  Thank you.
