When I would visit my friends in Boston [after living in SF for many years]a couple of them would have their bikes hanging from hooks on the revealed brick walls in their apartments. They were often surprised that I wouldn't even comment on their "at home" bike storage choices. It was because in SF it is also impossible to find bike storage and parking and so the hooks made perfect sense to me!! <br /><br />I hope "les bicyclistes" in Paris are more considerate while biking than the bikers here in SF!!! In SF they take too many risks and endanger the lives of pedestrians, people driving autos and themselves!!! Then again, SF is probably the epicenter of "Self Important" people in the universe...and it used to be such a delightful place!!

I've seen Norman superstitions and Occitan horse totems, among other things! I sure hope you two make it - then you can find a nickname meaning just plain 'Hardy' as a reward for your steed! <br /><br />(I remember a day on PDP where people posted all kinds of wonderful names they gave their beloved bikes.

I must remember to be careful where I park it. <br />I was thinking of naming my bike " BAIARD: Old French name derived from the word baiard, meaning "foolhardy." but hoping if I keep up with the training I can arrive at the Eiffel Tower on time.jaqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05391675770580600786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11471590.post-76359236119613181012010-05-19T08:52:44.334+02:002010-05-19T08:52:44.334+02:00Pretty funny...
