Last night I spotted one of the best looking bikes I’ve ever seen. It was an Ebisu and its proud owner found it at the Jitensha bike studio in Berkeley. The bike had these fenders, which apparently look like this when they’re being made. I didn’t have the heart to make the guy abandon his leh-zure ride for a modeling shoot in the TenderNob. But the photo below looks exactly like it, only in a slightly more elevated setting. Dreamy.
A look-alike of the beautiful Ebisu I spotted.

The SF Gate reported today that, “Donald Fisher, who co-founded Gap Inc. with a single San Francisco blue jeans outlet in 1969 and turned it into a worldwide, 3,100-store casual-wear empire, died Sunday of cancer at his San Francisco home, the company said. He was 81.” Mr. Fisher was a lifetime San Francisco resident, major retail pioneer, and philanthropist. Donal and his wife and business partner, Doris, “helped keep the Giants in San Francisco and amassed one of the world’s great collections of modern art,” reported the SF Gate. Much of Fisher’s art is on public display in San Francisco; a gift that keeps on giving. Gavin Newson said of Fisher, “His unwavering commitment to our city’s arts and civic culture will be remembered for generations to come.” Regardless of how you feel about the Gap empire, Donald Fisher made a big impact on the retail world and was very good to the city of San Francisco. He will be missed and celebrated.
