    That could very well be a long lost cousin in the Bill Brandt photo.

    It really must be something about the approaching season, I've been dreaming about riding my bicycle too. Love the Brandt and Cartier-Bresson images.

    At least you braved the cold Laura and rode your bike to work (wow!). i want to ride the balloon tired Schwinn that is in Oregon, sadly not here. it seems so "spring leisurely." amelia's long lost cousin! reunited at last!

    I wouldn't mind having Mr. Oliasson's bicycle. These images should help get me through a this spring storm.
