Tiny Bike!
It's no secret that the young men of Fishtown and Port Richmond love riding vehicles that are not appropriate for the city streets. Every day my neighborhood buzzes with the diesel rumble of motorized scooters, tiny motorcycles, and four wheelers. For whatever reason, these inappropriate vehicles are status symbols around here. But OMFG, this kid got the inappropriate-vehicle-as-status memo so wrong and so right because he is riding a CLOWN BIKE. SERIOUSLY. Look at that thing. The wheels can't be any more than five inches in diameter. I want him to be followed by a brass band and some elephants. And kid, if you come across this post, seriously: do not think I am making fun of you. I am in love with you for riding your tiny bike around my neighborhood. If you ever need someone to spot you when you ride your tiny bike across a tight rope, please: just let me know.
