Orange

It occurs to me that I've never posted pictures of my sweet orange folding bike. I bought it used, from a foreign dude in Sapporo, for about $50. And IT FOLDS IN HALF! I can take it apart, put it in a duffel bag, and bring it on the train or camping or whatever. So fun.

The bike has been especially appreciated this spring. I couldn't ride while the sidewalks were packed with ice and snow, and it was a painful 20-minute walk to and from work each day. But now that I'm back on the bike I can take pressure off my still-fractured foot. Relief.

Here are pictures of my favorite elementary-age girls playing on my tall bike.


And in front of an old locomotive in Furano.
