I photographed this back in January in the market square of Ben Ghardana, a dusty little shit hole in Tunisia, just before the Libyan border. Looking at it earlier today It represented such a simple and uncluttered life I was moved to print it out, frame it, and stick it up on the wall for all to see. It terms of fulfilling it’s role in life this bicycle represents total efficiency at minimum cost. It probably looked exactly like this ten years ago and will look exactly like it again in another ten years. Lovely.

The same in ten years? Well, the veg will have dried up at least, and probably someone will have stolen the saddle.....
(Actually, it really IS a great photo!!!)
I think the saddle will just become more bottom shaped.
