What's Up With That Orange Bike? Theme Thursday Madness

On a bit of a blogging hiatus because Life. Ya know. But my clinically dependent obsession with Theme Thursday just won't quit. 

In the back of my head I knew today's theme over at Clan Donaldson is Orange, and as I was driving this morning I saw my favorite little loner at yet a new obscure location, just leaning there all nonchalant, contemplating Leaves of Grass or some such, and I just couldn't resist. Because he's orange:




You see? 



What is going on! We have lived here for about four months, and this. This bike! It is in a new location everyday, just chained there with its sad blue lock. Somebody is driving it from location to location on a daily basis. No peddles. No chain. No explanation. Just Orange. For our amusement? Our wonderment? To make a statement? What statement??!!! It is driving me insane!

So I appeal to You, the Greater Internet: What is up with the orange bike??!!?? 

When I find the responsible party I'm going to buy him an orange lock.

  2. Obviously it is there so that YOU will photograph it for Theme Thursday and now that the orange bike has fulfilled it's purpose and it will be at rest in orange bike heaven.

    I think you and your kids need to have a stake-out and stalk the orange bike..so you can find out once and for all. Of course, my dark mind could come up with all sorts of sinister purposes of the orange bike (drug smuggling, gang communication, Russian spy's), so maybe that's not the safest idea.

    1. (don't read the comments on the video, because it'll give away the secret, which is not satisfying at all. Just know that they are there deliberately and with purpose)

  5. I think what's even more interesting than the bike is that you noticed it and it's changing whereabouts. Seriously, I am so oblivious to stuff like this.

    I love the grass it is sitting on. i know. I'm weird. The blades look huge..not like skinny Minnesota grass!

  8. I love your orange bike. (I know, I know, it's not "yours.") Like really, I love it a lot. The mystery, the intrigue. The bright happiness of it. LOVE.

    P.S. The blue of the lock is an -ahem- complementary color. Haha!

  9. Wow! I live in a city with more bikes than people, but that is surely something different(:

  10. We have white bikes around here that are called Ghost Bikes. They mark where there have been bike fatalities. Not nearly as fun as the orange bikes.
