I didn’t get much time to focus when this rider came whizzing by, so the shot’s a bit fuzzy, but you can still see that the cyclist exercised a little lateral thinking when the time came to fit a rack pack. His solution? A plastic mailbox. It’s a clever idea, though it probably won’t appeal to traditionalists—or weight weenies, for that matter. I just hope the latch is a good one. There are more than a few potholes on the road ahead.

We love our bikes, right? And we never tire of looking at them. At least I don’t, and if I’m to judge from what others tell me, I’m not alone. So each Sunday I’ll publish a bike-related picture. Most of the time it will be a photo, but don’t be surprised if a few drawings and paintings get added to the mix from time to time. I might even include a sculpture or two. (OK. A photo of a sculpture.) Anything, in short, that evokes the world on two wheels. And don’t be shy. If you have a picture you’d like to share, just email it to me. I’ll do the rest.
