Famous Ankles

You see a post with a name like “The Love Bike” and it makes me wonder what you think you’re going to see.

Is it a Harley?  Some sort of huge motorcycle?

How about a Honda?  They used to have one of the great slogans:  “You meet the nicest people on a Honda”.  That was before they did cars and mowers and all.

Perhaps a tandem bike.  You know, a bicycle built for two.

Nah.  Nothing so exotic.

It’s too late for Valentines, so this must be a year-round Love Bike.

Actually, there was a clue to it in the basket.  There was a pamplet for a “Bike Lane Liberation Clown Ride” for March 15 (a Saturday).  They’re planning on having clown makeup and everything.

I know people who fear clowns.  I hope they aren’t wandering around Manhattan and run across a mess o’ clowns dedicated to protecting their turf.
