A rather uncommon Dutch-style bike in Vienna
He was on his way to work, his briefcase was sitting on the front rack.Ever had a similar experience? I find it really fun to look at bikes and imagine what kind of people are riding them :).
If you are, on the other hand, interested in a computer game for cyclists, check out Bicicla't.

I would have guessed a strong, handsome, big hearted guy. He's got the double top bar, too, so he must be pretty self-sufficient. Or not so car-dependent.
I see the tower in the background, but forget it's name. It's not something like a garbage burner or something, is it? Wasn't it designed by that crazy architect? I forget his name, too. I see a nice picture there.
I wish I could've gotten a better look at his outfit because I guessed that he was bit of a dandy. His bike has such a big, luxurious bell and a large light with chic, silver casing and a front rack that he probably bought separately as well (that also happens to match his bike). I like a man that can coordinate his bike accessories, but I don't think his bike lock looks formidable enough. I wonder if he bought the lock for its style or if he just ran out of money after buying the other things (or maybe some nice things for himself).
@ spiderleggreen: Yeah, that's the waste incineration plant designed by Hundertwasser at U4/U6 Spittelau. Quite nice to have something like that in the middle of the town.
@ bronze bombshell: Interesting observations, I also noticed the huge silver bell (very cool). Unfortunately I couldn't get any closer and didn't see him from them front, but the more mysterious the better :).
So far, the only cyclist whom I've met after wondering "Whose bike is that?" was my neighbor. She has a cheerful turquois 3-speed with 2 bells and handlebar streamers, and it was one of the first bikes that drew my attention when I became interested in bicycles. I have seen plenty of beautiful bicycles since, but have never met their owners.
