First of all, there is NOTHING ugly about that bike! It's fabulous!

Of course I have an orange Element so I'm notl likely to be happy with pale, retiring colors. I saw on HGTV once that if you want to know which colors are on the horizon for decorating and home fashions, watch the auto colors -- they are the first to implement the hot new colors (by several years).

So I think we can anticipate a lot of oranges and maybe yellows in the next few years, from the new models I'm seeing on the road. Think it will cheer us all up? And think bikes follow the auto trends?
