1265749693 Coroduroy Wrapping
I was on my way to get lunch when I passed by this little gem. It was all wrapped in yellowish corduroy.

I would like to think that it was some prank or maybe it was a lonely old bike that someone spruced up, Levis is right there after all. Could you imagine coming out to find that your little fixie was wrapped in new winter garb. Anyway, it brought a smile to my face!
