Lots of orange

I have a glaringly orange bike. I am not so much a fan of orange nor am I a fan of festive, which my bike is. It's an Orbea Marmolada. I got this bike not because it looks like the remnants of a smashed pinata but because it is an awesome bike. The bike has personality and I guess I see it like I'd see a person; it is what it is and I love what it is. The bike gets more attention than what I'd like because I'm not the flashy sort but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

That being said...I like simplicity! And I love Celeste! My Bianchi...now THAT is a bike I got due to the color

Dunno. I can see why people don't want to be stereotyped by gender (my bike isn't WSD though) but ride what suits you structurally. And I think the bike color thing goes WAY beyond bike colors because women are expected to like certain things from when we were little on up. I can see being riled - I have my own issues like when people say "lady" instead of woman. Makes me want to go all violent and stuff!

Have got to say though I LOVED that glittery red!!!! Pretty. Very pretty.
