So, I got this idea the other night for a piece of art work and it means I hope to acquire a new collection: bike license plates.
I've been thinking about these little things all day and night and I started to remember how cool those little license plates were, hanging off the back of my banana seat bike. I thought how crazy it was that we ever got rid of them.
Then I found out how crazy collecting license plates can be. And I don't use the word 'crazy' lightly. I use it with the highest respect, collector to collector. I want to come across a huge box at the flea market one of these days soon and scoop the whole thing up, but tonight, I just went looking for an image of a little bike plate...
I found this:
S, I guess I'm not the only one with a little collection in mind... but I'm keeping my eyes out for 'em...
gads, they might not be so easy to find after all.

I'll keep my eyes out for you.
Junior Pedal Pusher Skilled Rider is my favorite - it says so much!
This is going to be a crazy fun collection!
I have about 20 of the CA black and yellow ones with truly great names. They are all yours as I'm cleaning out closets and trying to let go of the old shop treasures! I'd love them to find a home with you.
PS... I actually found mine in an enormous chest at the most brokedown fabulous thrift/antique shop you can find in Eureka, CA. There were hundreds. Maybe even thousands.
