When is pink REALLY pretty.

Today Kit and I were driving near Recycled Cycles and saw a pink tandem go by the opposite direction. It was like a flashback.

I said, “That looks like the tandem we fit but I thought the bike was stolen.” We did an about face and chased them down in our car….Miles later it was Mark and Jen and their original tandem.

About 2 years ago we fit Mark and Jen on that same tandem. Just a few weeks later we heard their tandem was stolen. Having had a tandem of mine stolen, I felt crushed for them knowing how horrible it felt.

Mark and Jen put up signs everywhere and the Seattle community was on the lookout. After about a month had passed, someone called with information. Amazingly, the bike was found and in pretty good condition.

Once we finally caught up with Mark and Jen we got the story and had to take a photo. I can only think of one pink tandem I have ever fit and this was it. It was great to run into them and hear the story of the returned pretty pink bike.
