After a while, I could tell that he knew I was following him. I pulled over a few times, which probably gave me away. When he reached his home, he looked pretty freaked. I feel bad about it.

I still see it at the train station. It's in great shape. It's a 3-speed coaster brake model, in green. I think of leaving a note, offering to buy it. For all I know, he's not emotionally attached to it and wouldn't mind selling it. I could even offer to give him a more modern bike in exchange. And I would include an apology about stalking him.

You rock.

AND these are some amazing bikes. I talk to a lot of people in England and Italy and I guess the stuff is laying about everywhere. They seem to want GT's from Aneheim CA.. We live in a crazy world.
