Paris bikes have a legendary style. There is a company in Annapolis called Velo-Orange which uses a lot of the style elements popular in French bikes. They prefer 3-D metal fender surfaces, decorative chain guards, handlebar bells, large fancy tires, etc.
Warsan Shire poem:
they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered
where does it hurt?
it answered
everywhere
everywhere
everywhere.
