Bikes Gone Wild?
Posted on 9:35 PM
by dvdsvdsdv
We saw this in an alleyway in Harvard Square earlier this evening. A fence full of bikes is a surer sign of spring's arrival than crocuses!
Some seemed to be particularly effected by Spring Fever. Are these bikes up to no good?
The old Roadster was bemused, recalling his own wild youth in the '60s.
Of course, our Miles and Marianne were more discreet and only nuzzled affectionately. Happy Spring and happy cycling!
