When I was a kid….yes, back in the Stone Ages….your sneakers, bike and sunglasses were put away in October and didn’t come back out until April.  That’s just the way it was.  It was too cold for bike riding, sneakers were made of canvas and not very warm, and you just didn’t see people wearing sunglasses much in the winter.  So, it was always a sign of summer being on the way when it was warm enough to break out the bike, sneakers and sunglasses!  Things aren’t that way anymore!  Now bikes are ridden all year round, sneakers are made of leather and suede and are worn in all kinds of weather, and sunglasses are just good sense for protecting your eyes….especially from the brightness of the snow in the winter time!  When I saw this scene it reminded me of the good old days when a holiday wreath on the door and a bike parked outside just didn’t happen at the same time!
