Stripey Bike anna Smile

Waiting for the Race Against Time team this mornig I saw the stripiest bike I think I've seen so far....

These shots just sum up to me the pleasant nature of commuting by bike compared to taking the car. He was plugging away into the headwind, saw me with the camera, stuck his tongue out and had a laugh. Didn't know me from Adam, and I don't know him, but it gave us both a chuckle on a grey morning with an interaction you just don't get in the car.

I hope he arrived at his destination with the smile still intact.

I think the stripiest bike ever belonged to a character in the antiquarian book trade, named Drif (IIRC).

He was featured in (again, IIRC)) Bicycle Action many years ago, but I'd met him in Cambridge before that.
Getting there...
