Mellow Yellow.
With the Tour de France officially departed from Yorkshire I expected the number of yellow bicycles to have decreased since my last visit to York, but if anything I seemed to have noticed even more yellow bicycles and Tour themed decorations around the city today! Here are some of my favourites:
Two yellow bicycles at the entrance to York Railway Station.
Tour de France bunting (in the yellow, white, polka-dot and green jersey colours) outside Holy Trinity Church, Micklegate.
A polka-dot jersey hanging outside the Mansion Nightclub, Micklegate.
A yellow tricycle, Bridge Street.
Kuda Nightclub, Clifford Street. Note the vodka bottle.
Tour de France bunting and sunflowers.
A yellow bicycle on the front of York Art Gallery.
Yellow bicycle and flowers, Station Road.

Our first yellow bicycle.
I must confess, I can’t ride a bicycle myself, but I do take an interest in the sport [especially when Team GB have a chance at winning something] and I’ve always got time to admire a bright yellow bicycle chained to a lamppost. Since my last visit it looks like York has been getting ready to mark the beginning of the Grand Depart, the start of the Tour de France, by decorating the place with yellow bicycles and yellow bunting.
Bunting in St. Helen’s Square.
These yellow bicycles do draw your attention and I did notice a lot more bicycles around the city [emphasis on the word notice; I have got no evidence that the actual number of bicycles has increased] and I was called up more than once by my companions for pointing out what turned out to be bikes that just happened to have yellow frames!
Our second yellow bicycle.
I’m not sure exactly how many official yellow bicycles there are [not to mention unofficial yellow bicycles and additional bicycles, which have cropped up in shop window displays and the like], but I sure you, if you go to York this week, you’re bound to see more than one!
Our third yellow bicycle.
…and finally.

I would like to dedicate this post to Mr. FP, Mr. LH and Miss. MW for their company today; with special thanks going to FP for inspiring the trip to York in the first place and choosing the date.
