Anyone can ride a black bike or a white one but it takes a certain amount of panache to carry off an orange one. Furthermore, I don't know what the autumn/winter weather is like where you live but here in the Pacific Northwest there are many days that would have been immensely cheered up by having a bright orange bike to jump onto.
I'm curious about the single fender in the front though. Why the front?
