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?
