natalie found iconography

ann asked me to fill in with the found column this week. i'm traveling in western europe at the moment. i'm lucky to have the opportunity to visit with friends and meet up with friends-of-friends in such a beautiful place. i've spent the past week in belgium and the netherlands. while keeping my eye out for "sick european street art," i've been much more enamored with window boxes, espresso, changing leaves and public squares. but while keeping my eye out for the perfect found european graphic i saw this icon over and over:



the white on blue, the outer circle, the tilted handlebars, the detail of the fenders, the flat ground - it is a lovely image. i've loved the bicycling here.
