As many of you know, I am a morning walker and, lately, during the course of my walks through my town of Tarpon Springs, I have noticed a phenomena occurring...whimsically decorated bikes all around town!
The first one I saw was down on the Sponge Docks outside of the
Sponge Diver tee shirt store. I had just gotten off the sponge diver boat with my 4 year old grandson, Landon and we both noticed this fun bike all "sponged" up.
I assumed this unique repurposing had been done by the shop as they also sell sponges along with their clothing and wonderful tee shirts.
A couple of weeks later, walking through town with my friend, Jo, we spotted the "computerized" bike outside a computer repair shop on Tarpon Ave. This one has a small plaque that read,
Tarpon Tom, which is a wonderful resale and bike repair shop in town on Alt. 19. This is where I take my bike. (pardon my partial thumb obliterating the handle bars which were key boards!)
A few days later, Jo and I spotted these on Tarpon Ave. during our morning walk.
Today, my husband dropped me off at Meres for my morning walk and, as I went up Tarpon Ave off the Trail, I spotted this one with a small sign reading
Neptune Cyclery Shop which is located next to
Toula's Trail Side Cafe on Safford.
I don't know who started these but they are truly a wonderful addition to our already whimsical little town. So kudos to those creating these wonders and keep up the good work, please.
