My darling Leanne just got her fabulous blue Electra a few weeks back, and she couldn't be happier. Actually, she was intending to buy it this one day in May. However, when we went to the bike shoppe it turned out the blue bike had been purchased just the day before. Scooped and foiled! She reserved another one in the next batch and was very pleased with its speedy arrival.
She has been enjoying it thoroughly ever since. Leanne usually rides a pretty one speed custom road bike, but with her new bike she is enjoying the glorious reality of putting her bag, belongings, and her shopping in a basket. No more sweaty back from a bike bag! Also, no more obstruction of the boobs from bike bags. I am quite sure I am not the only girl who has had this problem. Perhaps it bothers me more than most... but boob squishing from those horizontal straps is just unpleasant.
Anyway, Leanne has been loving her new bike. And it turns out her bike has a doppelganger that also parks at city hall! We're desperately awaiting the day when we get to discover who the beautiful girl is behind this dopleganger bike. A bicycle mystery... how intriguing!

Great, another German word used in English (we call it Doppelgänger). I didn't know about that one before ;-).
I once saw "my bike" at the station. But that's quite unusual as mine is already 14 years old, very rare and not produced anymore. It's fun though to wonder what kind of person rides the same bike.
Oh, nice! The powder blue frame + white saddle + wicker basket combination is so pretty. She should leave a mysterious note for the owner of the other bike!...
I love bicycle mysteries! I rarely ever get to find out 'WHO rides THAT?" but it happens once in awhile, outside the grocery store, or when the owner of a bicycle is drinking coffee on the patio by his bike. :)
Then again, I also think that some bikes have an imaginary "soul" and that my bike likes to be locked next to some bikes more than others. If another Surly is around, I let them get to know eachother. :D
Remember to post an update when your bicycle mystery is solved!
Pretty! The pale blue with white tires is so nice.
Cute bike!.....Ugh, I can't stand backpacks
seriously, that bike is so sweet! nothing will make you smile like a cute girl having fun on an awesome bike
Wow, once I saw this bicycle, I'm falling in love to it. I'm searching what kind of bicycle fit for me. I hope I can find one like this in Indonesia :)
