Re-cycled

Retro-cycles as seen here in Kismet are the main means of transportation on Fire Island

Today I went for a what I thought was going to be a short walk along the beach, but the cloudy yet warm weather seemed perfect for a longer excursion. Starting at Robert Moses Beach, I walked all the way to the first little vacation village on the Fire Island National Seashore (appropriately shortened to "FINS"). Since no cars other than Ranger and emergency vehicles are allowed anywhere on Fire Island, bicycles are the main means of transportation and can be found everywhere. Mostly they are so-called "beach cruisers" and of the old-fashioned kind, as this lovely pair in pink and blue so nicely illustrates.
