Wonderful bike and photos, Lisa! Congratulations!

I play mandolin, what do you play?

Thanks, Tulip. We went to Quebec and ate those little bleuets last year! We LOVED Quebec. The Quebec blueberry stands always said simply "Bleuets", so I didn't know if they were "male or female". I had this feeling my bike was a "boy", so I'm happy for you to tell me that it is "LE" Bleuet (masculine).
That clinches it! Le Bleuet is my bike's name. (pronounced similar to bloo-AY) :) :) :)
I had a feeling "bleuet" was not used in France for blueberry, because the French dictionary had a different word for blueberries, but the Quebecois kept calling them bleuets.

As to what I play, I play clawhammer banjo and mountain dulcimer and I sing (I played a bit of mandolin briefly but never got good on it).

Congratulations on the new Riv! I have the same bike, and she never lets me down, and she is gorgeous. I had to laugh--I keep mine in the living room! You'll have many years of great rides

Lisa:

Beautiful, pretty new bike :) !! Enjoy getting to know her!

I think we could put together a TE band here :D .......

Tulip on the mandolin, you on the clawhammer banjo & mountain dulcimer, me on the guitar -- we could share singing parts ;)....

Who else plays an instrument??
I know that Mimitabby plays the stand-up bass & kelownagirl plays the guitar, too :) !

Have a great day Lisa, and I'd love to know more about your bike.... They're really gorgeous.

Denise

Lisa,

Have you seen this website yet? www.velo-orange.com
Beautiful stuff for your bike. I will readily admit to a fondness for frou-frou--if it's well done. Various body parts demand that I ride a recumbent so basically, I've just got my nose pressed up against the glass when it comes to high end accessories. I have no place to put the honey colored, super soft, elk hide handlebar covers...it's up to you! :D :D
