Locomotion

The Spring Fair was not the only event featured in Nyon this past weekend. There was also a secondhand bicycle sale taking place near the chateau. Sorry for the glare reflecting off this piece of modern art that is currently being displayed in the same area.

Nearby was an exposition of different models of bicycles that anyone courageous enough could try to master. The kids were really getting into the trials.

But the kids were not the only ones to try out an odd bike or two.  I wonder how this one would do on hills.

Here is a very brave young one trying out a unicycle.

For those who wanted to ferry the young ones about town in comfort, there were other options.

The flags flying in the rear of that picture indicate the police station. One is the Swiss flag and the other is the flag of Nyon. But the police eschew bicycles for these babies, parked in readiness behind the station.

All told, if I couldn't have one of the horses in yesterday's post, this is the ride that I would have liked.

It may not be as eco-friendly as the bicycles, but it certainly is an elegant means of locomotion.
