Sometimes on the way to work, through the City, I pass this little sidewalk diorama and it make me wonder; are these bikes owned by one person? If so, they must have an great sense of style. Or are these the rides of a boyfriend and girlfriend?
I imagine the the young girlfriend struggling at her first job... convinced that her rocker boyfriend's band is going to make it, because "he's sooo talented!". Maybe he's a tatoo artist during the day.
Then I notice the Apple logo on the battery box of the bobber and think of a couple of hipsters that like to ride to the coffee shop and blog about politics.
Or maybe he's just a motorcycle mechanic who wanted his girlfriend to learn to ride, so they bought a scooter.
You can't buy that scooter (a Genuine Stella) in Lancaster... did they move here from somewhere else? Or did they do research online, find a Genuine dealer in Philly and bring it back from there?
Bikes have so much personality. Would a couple cars parked along the curb inspire this speculation?
