"Some assembly required." ?
 
-----

Came across this photo of a lady with her cycle which deliciously invites interpretation.

Be she having some quality time a-spanner twistin'?

Or maybe she became so frustrated with a mechanical problem she collapsed from exhaustion?

Or perhaps be she in prayer?

Perchance she is such an avid bikie that she employs her machine for a prayer rug...

The velo BTW is a Liberia.

Looks almost like she is reading instructions - something no guy would ever do

She's checking for Delrin cracks in the RD ;)
Maybe applying 2 part epoxy to fault lines.

The blue front tire tells us it's a Swapfiets.

Even though the subject photo has been taken from the drive side.... ;)

Looks like she's switched the front wheel from 27" to 700C but has insufficient pad height adjustment, Also needs to be taught on the proper orientation of a QR skewer. Furthermore, needs to read bicycle fitting 101 on the subject of saddle tilt.

I hope she's not going to use the handlebar on the red bike as a visual assembly aid.......

No, she'd be on her side, passed out from the fumes.

Guidonnet levers on the white bike and wino bars on the red one indicate something not quite normal going on.

I believe she is looking for a dropped contact lens.

Moreso than the flower power lunch box, the fake Quaker Oats box and the wicker storage drawers?

Hmm, just noticed what looks like a tube of artist's oil paint (or is it rim cement? not the right color label to be Tub-nasti), between the seat stays. Maybe she is passing out from the fumes....

If anyone ever finds me on the floor of my garage they'll find stuff a lot weirder than that to look at.

Or a wood-floor refinishing service.

Charming picture actually. Staged no doubt.
