A New Red Bicycle

After a couple of weeks of mulling it over, I took the plunge and bought a bicycle. I haven't had one like this since I was 12 years old: single-speed, 24", bell, rear carrier, front basket, and made of heavy steel. I took it for a spin before leaving for a 3-week trip back home to the States. Now I'll have to get up enough courage to actually ride in Vapi traffic! (And I have to raise the saddle.)

  1. Nice!! I would tell you to wear a helmet... but based on your photos, I bet nobody does there. Be careful!

  2. I'm bringing a helmet back from the States! But you're right -- hardly anyone wears a motorcycle helmet. I don't think I've ever seen anyone with a bicycle helmet.

  3. How very...retro. In keeping with the blog theme, you need a fancy "Horn OK Please" sign on the back.
