More on Bazou

Now that I've relinquished any and all pretensions to being a True Blogger(tm), I might as well upload tons of random pictures detailing my love affair with Bazou.

Introducing Bazou
Bazou... with brand new(!) mudguards which I stole off an abandoned bicycle in downtown Lyon. Too bad others got to the real goodies before I made a move.

Planning
Janvier has this new funky hat fad... I guess it's a european thing. Kinda like orange walls in a house. Hitting the road with a Work of Art(tm) bike is no trivial matter. It takes a lot of planning. I think Janvier was trying to design me a portable cabinet in this picture. Friggin cabinet makers.

McGuyver Lives!
When I was through with those panniers they were completely transformed -- and unremovable. Even cannibalized another bag for cloth to use for extra fasteners (which I didn't end up using).

Ethiopian Tradition
I'm not as clueless as I look in this picture. Here we see Janvier at work attaching the 5-euro porte-baggage which broke minutes before I hit the road.

Panniers
I must have spent hours working on those panniers. They worked marvellously. I even had a guest mouse in one for a while.

Increasing the average sex appeal in France
No traveler is complete without moth-eaten wifebeaters.

Disappointment
This was probably taken minutes after the porte-baggage failed on me. I do believe I uttered a miserable "Why?" when it happened.

Getting in the Mood
Can't rush. You'll get sick. You'll hurt yourself. You'll regret it. Relax. Have a sheesha. Have a ridiculously small french beer. Must remember to wash my feet when there are cameras around.

Cycling Days
Janvier Joanna and myself out for a test ride in the park. Bazou is finally ready and eager to hit the road.

another failed relationship
The Universe sana arkadan veriyor allahin cezasi igrenc homo. This is what happens when you lose your backbone. If I find out you've been eating tofu I will kill you POS.
