Just another day in Key West. Cats riding zebras. purrrrrrr....... Rusty Conch Cruisers or crazy fixies...this is a bicycling town! I really liked the furry handcuffs, very important to prevent chaffing and scratching the paint job. The Amycat got a flat after breakfast of catnip and mimosas but we got her purrring again soon!
