h.g. wells once said, "every time i see an adult on a bicycle, i no longer despair for the future of the human race."
i couldn't agree more, which is one of the reasons i love the "bike project" that my favorite crafty couple, shauna and stephen of something's hiding in here undertook last year.
they found a pair of great raleigh bikes from the 1960's and fully refurbished them-- new paint, parts, seats, even handle grips. here are some photos of their bikes, before and after.

to wrap up this ode to bicycles, here's a fitting song from a singer and songwriter i know personally, amy correia (pronounced like"korea").
her newest album, "you go your way" is available for order here.
"you go your way" album art by scottish artist lindsey carr.
here's a favorite song of mine from her "carnival love" album, released in 2000.
