Having everything black, e.g. equipment (very

I'll admit, there's some frustration in having a black suitcase
containing a black toiletry kit, a black camera case, a black case for
an eReader, etc.

But somehow I'm always able to find my bicycles. And the black bike
makes me smile as often as the others.

My red racing bike is super-fast. The black commuter bike not so much, but it does have bright orange lettering that adds a little speed. This color scheme (with different parts): https://4d0850cecf2c5ce919d5-17b283a....jpg?bg=6D6F76

It was a free warranty replacement, so beggars can't be choosers. It's also caked in dirt from the daily rain commute, so the letters are not so garish. It also has white on the back of the seat stays which adds a tiny bit of visibility at night.
