transporting Cinderella
transport + pumpkins
led to thoughts of Cinderella
how different the fairytale could have been if Cinderella had had a bicycle?!?!
instead of worrying about her carriage turning into a pumpkin at midnight
I dare say she could have had a much later night, more fun, and still enjoyed the ride home with a swarthy prince
oh well... it worked out well for her in the end

remains of the day interest me (as seen previously)
but
the fact that the front forks of this bike had been broken off from the frame was a little disconcerting...

someone obviously had a little too much time on their hands

if you're going to San Francisco...
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There's a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion
above,
four lines from John Phillips' song "San Francisco"
below,
one guest photo from Libby from her trip to San Francisco
though the song was not about cycling, the words resonate with relevance for those sharing the love of cycling...
you can enjoy the song (as performed by Scott McKenzie) right here...
and you can find out more about Libby's love of the bicycle here

men who make bicycles - 1
I have recently had the good fortune to meet some men who make bicycles.
not for a job
but for the love.
John, of Brugge, is one of the aforementioned men.
not for a job
but for the love.
John, of Brugge, is one of the aforementioned men.
He was kind enough to answer three questions I put to him.
Why did you start making bicycles?
The advantage of making and repairing your own bike is the fact that you can build up the bike to your own budget, willing and approve.
I love to search on internet sites for bargains and secondhand quality parts in good condition, because it is far more interesting then new stuff.
What do you like most about bikes?
They look elegant and very refined.
I love most of all vintage/retro bikes made out of steel.
What else do you make?
Apart from bikes, timber is my passion.
Our guest room http://www.breadandbutter.be/
is full of salvaged wooden finds, like the walls covered in raw planks.
And the "home made" pieces of art made out of recuperation timber.
With many thanks to John and Frederika for helping to make the stay in Brugge so enjoyable.
