Isn't there a law against having one of those bikes, where the saddles don't all match?

I still think the legal violation is the white purse with brown and black saddles.

It's so..... Albany.

......and certainly most bars, restaurants and fun places fashionable folks hang out.

For me, the horn and mirror together really top it off.

Can you imagine captaining that bike without a horn or mirror? That's frightening.

I first read this thread on my iPhone app, so the picture was really small and I couldn't read the tweet. I immediately wondered why is Dallas patching a tire on Aaron's triplet? Then of course I knew that photogravity should be renamed photo-traveler. Now all of you will really be famous!

So... who was riding the ordinary? I want to say 'congrats' and 'NEXT!' I have not been up on one of those, yet.

Thanks for explaining the joke, caveman, it makes it so much funnier.

The Ordinary was being ridden by Curtis of Bikeville/Via...a local shop specializing in vintage bikes that also sells on line.

The thought of somebody with a walrus moustache riding an ordinary in front of the Rocky statue causes an awesomeness overload.
