Elections, Lovers, Marching Bands

Posted on 1:19 PM by dvdsvdsdv
It was a strange weekend in the EU. Here are some photos of bicycles amidst all the excitement:

These are spectators at what appeared to be a parade of marching bands from around the world. This was the day before the European Parliament elections, and Vienna was abuzz with nervous energy.

Impressive that this couple remained perfectly balanced on those bicycles for nearly an hour!

Cute girl with her cute bicycle. Notice how the shoes match her rear rack set-up.

Many of the spectators seemed to be using their bicycles for support and added height.

And here is a dapper and sporty gentleman with his green Brompton -- which matched the loden outfits of the band very nicely.


And the beat goes on...
