bicycle built for...
Yesterday I went to a flea market and bought a bike. It's a real clunker of a thing, totally old school and needs a whole lot of work, but it looks like it's seen a lot of love in it's day. It's a "Revival" brand (and that's exactly what it needs), black, with mother of pearl handles and brake valves... The brakes only work if you squeeze them with all your might and there are pedal-activated lights that look like they haven't worked since 1982. But I love it, and it's going to be so fun to ride around town with my little baguettes.
