Drinking, Late Night & Cycles
Tonight I was living the Expat Japan dream. After work I went drinking with one of my co-workers, had a great time just chatting and then I caught the last train home and avoided the desperate search to find somewhere to rest until the trains resume operation in the morning. What a rush....
But while walking around town tonight I saw this bicycle, which started me thinking.
It's about 10pm, it's cold and the night creatures have come out to play. Here we have a bicycle with baby seat in front and a child seat in back. Which got me thinking.
Is there someone out, getting their groove on with their baby in the night club Crèche? Is there a parent out there waiting to hear a report from the police that their stolen family bicycle has been found? Has the father taken the bike to go and have a drink while his family sleeps at home? Did the teenager with a large gap between them and their middle and youngest siblings decide to hit the town tonight?
I can't imagine which is the correct one, but it certainly got me thinking.
Any further possibilities for the story of this bike with a baby seat being out so late at night? Leave a comment!

A number of the male teachers at my work have the baby seat on their bikes, I suppose for the rare times they take the baby out, and not the wife. It's probably the case the the dad has taken his bike out drinking while mum is at home with the kids. Or maybe, dad has borrowed mum's bike for the evening knowing that he can't drive.
If we were in Australia, I'd say that dad has taken the baby to the pub.
HAHA! That's very possible that dad would be at the pub with his baby.
Aww, such a good Dad not leaving his kid at home when he went drinking. :-)
