I think I'd feel if I added the crochet to my step-thru bike, with a basket while wearing a dress. That's just too cliche!
*Thought it would be good to note the Trunk Bois are very active in our local Bike Coalition too. Scrapers (the cars) were tricked out cars in local slang...
Well, my bike doesn't have a basket, LOL. Just the rack. I guess I'm safe.
The local hoodlums all ride BMXs. Those kids are the ones I worry about and those are the types of bikes I hear about growing legs on the local crime watch page. My nephew's faux BMX was stolen not too long ago. I have its replacement, a beat to crap BMX, in my kitchen, waiting for me to put the wheels back on.
Older guys ride mountain bikes for the most part. The few hipsters have butchered old ten speeds. My mixte really sticks out.
Funny enough, its my old Shwinn town bike (nearly as old as I am and looks it) that gets compliments. One of these days, I'm going to spray paint it....
ETA, it's neat that that rap group is still active in biking. That song is how old now********** Also, what exactly is in those wheels? Plastic bottles? Cardboard?
