I saw a bright pink crate on the back of a Volpe a month ago. then I started to see it again, and again. It's my neighbor's. I'm beginning to dislike it. You see, I like neither the color of the Volpe (The San Jose is so much nicer!) or bright pink: especially together... well...



Of course, whatever works for her. But one of these days I'm going to have to tell her that her chain really needs adjusting. One of these days, yessir, and she really needs to start wearing a helmet.

I like grocery panniers. As to the theft problem, well, you can either carry them in with you and just have the cashier use them instead of bags (save the environment!!1) or you can get a pair like my dad's, which are so covered in dirt and chain oil I can't imagine a thief wanting to go near them without latex gloves.
