I think ukeliphant's bike sounds cool--black with red cages. Sounds like a stealth bike, a secret mission bike (I have a rich fantasy life when it comes to who I am when I'm on a bike, eh? ).

A bit OT, but it made me think of this thread--I was listening to the BBC news hour on NPR, and they were talking about the EU carbon emission "scheme". A "scheme" to an American is something sneaky, something not completely above-board. So it sounds like the EU's trying to get away with something carbon-related! OK, I know, we're colonial goofs. L.
