Funny, this subject. Just tonight I saw an old Trek, of years when I brazed then, set up fixed, on a bit of snow, knobby tires, seat-stay caps true. The backdrop? It was quite the stage; a gleaming Oscar Meyer Weinermobile, right smack in front of the bike, the bike racks, the scooters, and the University of Wisconsin Memorial Union -- where the most beautiful beer stein collection can be seen. I didn't check to see if the keys were in it though; but then, I had equal interest in the bicycle, donchaknow!? I could ride either, I think. Can I get a witness?
