I didn't see many Opas, but I did see a lot of gorgeous vintage Schwinns... no surprise there.<br /><br />Thanks for "getting" the humor in the CL post. You're right about the frequency of camera-collecting among bike bloggers... I've noticed it too.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03825454524437359677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2950281679163772560.post-48442889668382524442010-12-02T15:01:57.428-08:002010-12-02T15:01:57.428-08:00That is HYSTERICAL!!!

I live in Chicago where there are a fair number of men and women riding Dutch bikes around the city, but even more on fixies with the de rigeur skinny jeans, converse low-tops, and Threadless T-shirts. ;-) And I won't even get into the bike bloggers that I know who do collect classic cameras. Funnnnnnny.<br /><br />PS: I don't think as many people as you think would find your appreciation for Dutch bikes that baffling. A guy on a Masi road bike struck up a conversation with me today in admiration of my Dutch bike, and a couple of other cyclists commented on my beautiful bike. Even a Harley guy shouted out his appreciation for my bike a couple of weeks ago!Ms.Dinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17117125874097499674noreply@blogger.com
