Five Wheels, Three Arms , originally uploaded by [Zakkaliciousness] . I waited behind them, snapped a shot. But then as i waited I was wondering why the chap would choose a tricyle. He looked all dapper and casual in his suit and scarf and even engaged the girl next to him in a charming exchange of words and smiles. I figured it was a style choice, that bike. Fair enough. It's a trendy European city. When the light changed, he cycled away, keeping his right hand in his pocket. Or so I thought. It was then i realised that he was missing his right arm. Of course. That's why he pedals around on a tricycle. And how wonderful and Copenhagenesque that he still chooses a bike over other transport forms. And looks sharp in doing so. There are so few reasons not to ride.
