Two Bikes in the Night

Two bikes in the night. An open door, inviting light. Enter when the time is juuuuuuust right. 

Perdido Bike

There's a street in New Orleans that only appears to mere mortals every once in a while. It's the oddest thing. It doesn't show up on maps. Apparently when you don't think of it, there it is. I parked my bike there once, which was a mistake.

Dawn’s Light

Have you ever noticed the shadow a bike casts? Look closely next time you see one. I think you'll agree they reveal the secret inner personality of the viewer.

She's the angel of music, but just call her Polhymnia.
