joanie met her twin. mixte love ensued.

this past sunday a few friends and i were going about our sunday routine to the farmer's market and to get chocolate cherry bread from our local co-operative bakery. i can write sentences like that because i live in san francisco.

anyway, as we passed the de young museum on our way to these aformentioned places, i saw the most beautimous thing i've ever seen. a pristine twin to my dear joanie baby.

Joanie's twin!

light was not totally on my side that day, but i did what i could.

Joanie's twin!

i left a love note.
Joanie's twin!

and gasped in (sort of mock) horror when i saw this beauty was locked up with a CABLE LOCK! i wrote on the note for the person to pleaseplease get a ulock. note that person also has the same helmet as me. WHO IS THIS PERSON?!

Joanie's twin!

i left my calling card so they knew i was serious. maybe they are reading today?

Joanie's twin!

i've modified joanie quite a bit from the drop down bars when i got her, but i made her undeniably MINE. i ride her every day and i love her dearly. by extension, i love her twin dearly as well.

    1. actually, another friend of mine had the "i <3 your bike" cards! i loved that she had them. they were made by rickshaw bags.

      and it looks like i had a good idea to make little cards with my bike on it! i should have ordered more with the bike :)

  5. That is so cool! Pretty spooky that you both had the same helmet.
    And I love that you have Bicycle Calling Cards. I'm definitely copying that idea.
