Orange bikes
I can't remember what kind of shop these were sitting in front of, but they certainly do stand out. I think they need a few pumpkins sitting next to them.
You got me curious, so I googled orange bike. Turns out there is a Fort Lauderdale fitness company, Orangetheory Fitness, that places orange bikes around to generate some buzz. In some places, the strategy backfires because it is considered too close to the white bikes representing bicyclists who die in collisions with cars.

Perhaps some Dutch people around?
Anyway a happy colour and easy to spot:-)
Or maybe some green or black bikes for contrast! ;-)
What a wonderful painted bikes, even here I have never seen one in orange, although it is our national colour.
A little more red and they could easily be confused with Capital Bikeshare rides. :-)
Had they a ride through a pumpkins field? :)
Great shot!
At first glance, a bit creepy too.
We need some yellow bikes for contrast!
Different and unusual!
Have a great day!

Halloween bikes ! Cute.
A great find. They will attract people's attention for sure. I hope that isn't paint as they look like perfectly good bikes. :)
Ha! I brake for orange bikes, which I guess means never, so far.
Curious that even the tires are like that.
They're definitely orange!! :) #ourworldtuesday
Wonderful color in these bikes, great find !
There simply but be a Dutch touch..the owners perhaps?
Oh yes, longing for some pumpkins...
Very odd, Lois!
I feel as if I would also be orange from wet paint if I sat there

Very colourful!
Great bikes for autumn and HALLOWEEN!!
It could be kind of hard to steal one of those and get away with it.
