The Chattering Crow: Republic Plato bikes

Republic Plato bikes

Donna mentioned that she's seeing lime green bikes all over Amsterdam, so I googled Dutch bikes and came up with this Republic-design-your-own-bike website. The lime green color is actually sour apple. Don't you want to have one of these babies? I do.

Donna lives in Amsterdam and the rest of us don't. Dammit.

Oooh, that website is too fun. Now I'm in love with clementine bikes as well.

And now that I live in Amsterdam, I eat chocolate sprinkles on bread for breakfast. I love the Dutch!

I think Donna is making it all up. She really lives in the suburbs of Gary, Indiana. See? Now I feel much, much better.
Chocolate sprinkles for breakfast? Is that the Dutch version of eating donuts? I bet they are considered health food there.
Someday I'm gonna figure out how to jump the wall and go to other cool countries.
I am ashamed to admit how envious I was of Louise and Tom's last foreign adventure. Sigh. I'm just a tad bit petty. Don't worry, I'll get over it. Maybe chocolate sprinkles on bread from Dunkin' Donuts would help....
