In the city, it makes going to work or school an enjoyable and healthful outing.

It makes shopping a pleasant tour around town.

And it is a great way to see the beautiful French countryside.

Did you know Peugeot made bikes before they started making cars? (In 2003 Peugeot merged with Gitane and there are no longer bikes made with the Peugeot name.)

All the photos on my site were taken by me with various generations of digital toys starting with my  Leica digilux zoom and my Sony Digital Handycam Mega Pixel 40x zoom. 

My Leica has been happily replaced with the new superb Canon IXUS 400 which I enjoyed for 6 weeks until it was stolen along with my Sony Handycam, my phone, and some other beloved techno-toys.  My dear husband has since replaced these items with the same Canon, and the new tiny Sony DCR-PC105.

Nothing seems to outlast my bike.  My newest camera is the Canon Ixus 800.  And I can always count on my Nokia 6230i for some great emergency shots!

Hmm.  The last point must be amended.  I still have my latest camera and phone, but my bike broke in two, literally.  The new one is a more than worthy successor:  my Gitane Louisiane VTC!
