 A Visit from the Black Label Bike Club
Johnny 5:57 PM
 N'awlins Freakin'
New Orleans seems to be a town of beach cruisers. Over 90% of the bikes I saw were beach cruisers and most had a big basket on the front. The roving CFB team even came across some choppers, but they were of the store-bought variety. Buying apehangers and nanner seats is a great way to get a start on freakbiking, but here at CFB we look for bikes that are one of a kind due to some creative effort of the owner.
A beautiful flowerdy bike. Notice the little bird perched under the seat.
You'll have to zoom in to see this one, but it's got a cool pattern of reflective tape.
A sweet homemade trailer.
