Brilliant purple on wheels: a jolt of vivid color this morning.   

SUNDAY MORNING

BAKERIES AND BICYCLES

Columbia 3-Speed from the '70's. Looks kinda proud. 

BICYCLES AND BAKERIES [A SERIES]

 A Globe "Live 3" model parked in front of the bakery this morning.

BICYCLES & BAKERIES

There is always a bike or two or three parked in front of City Bakery. Some beauties, some clunkers. Today's AMF Roadmaster [late '50's, early '60's?] is the first in a series showing off the wide variety of bikes parked on our sidewalk. Turns out that AMF has deep history connected to NYC and bakeries. From Wikipedia:


The company was founded by Rufus L. Patterson, inventor of the first automated cigarette manufacturing machine. Originally incorporated in New Jersey but operating in Brooklyn, the company began by manufacturing cigarette, baking, and stitching machines. 

DREARY FRIDAY MORNING

     All the better for the day-glo orange bike parked in the front of the bakery this morning to provide color.
