gratuitous photos of my bicycle

One of my birthday gifts this year was a new bicycle. One I've had my eye on for years, and never thought I'd actually have for myself. But times change, and here she is, and no she doesn't have a name yet, and I am absolutely in love with her. She's a Public C1, a Dutch style one-speed city bike, and I am not a person who generally cares about material possessions but this is my vehicle, my transportation, an extension of myself, so I'm telling myself it's OK to swoon. After all, we do spend a lot of time together.

And LOOK AT HER, SHE'S GORGEOUS.
