More about bikes

I wrote the other day about bikes in campus. I noticed that many of them have an interesting accessory

two small metallic pieces that are attached to the rear axle and stick a few centimeters out. They can be useful to put feet on them when people do stupid things with the bikes, or for somebody who is sitting at the back, and have short legs, to put their feet on.

There is a very common means of transportation on campus

and maybe even very romantic: the boy moves the bike and the girl protects them with an umbrella. You see them like this everywhere.
