Some of my family's favourite bikes have been stolen- not that they were fancy ones, just ones we really liked.<br /><br />materfamilias: Me, too! And you're the knitter!<br /><br />Wendy: Most of the shots are at Jean-Talon, the bike was shot on a walkabout with materfamilias, who visited overnight. The couple were at a café across the street from where I live, a 5-min. walk from J-T.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-60437519116177550232016-06-30T23:10:50.585-04:002016-06-30T23:10:50.585-04:00Your posts with photos of shoppers at the market a...Your posts with photos of shoppers at the market are some of my absolute favorites. It is the Jean-Talon, isn't it? Montrealers have a unique and colorful style that I love. I hope your summer is wonderful.

Yes, even crappy old bikes get stolen in cities, like an old five-speed I had lifted at the Canadian Tire on Bellechasse, 20 years ago. <br /><br />lagatta à montréalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610410709900333230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2872918251244874644.post-10162232158105283512016-06-30T19:32:39.928-04:002016-06-30T19:32:39.928-04:00lagatta: Bill Cunningham photographed every kind o...lagatta: Bill Cunningham photographed every kind of attire, from the most conservative but impeccable Savile Row suit to the outré; he saw the full range on offer, relished everything. I hope you have seen "Bill Cunningham New York"! He said he went through bikes regularly, because they either broke or were stolen.

I love his little flat cap. <br /><br />Oh, I still see a lot of black around here these days, but usually leavened with at least a bit of colour. I love green as a summertime neutral, but it is so hard to find the right shade of green. <br /><br />Buon'estate!
