Signs - The Bicycle Thief

Andy | Wednesday, January 21, 2015 | Best Blogger Tips

It is a restaurant in Halifax, Nova Scotia. I don't have a clue as to the origin of the name. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

    Perhaps an immigrant from holland. Its a profession often done by students who are missing their last transport home after a funny evening or night.

    The Bicycle Thief was a movie and maybe it relates to that in some way. I like the angle of this.

    A strange name for a cafe.

    There was an Italian movie by that name. Might have something to do with that.

    Odd. I think there was a movie by that name once maybe, but .... I might want to eat there just to find out why. Maybe that is their reasoning.

    Now I'm stumped. When I saw the sign I assumed it was a bicycle shop. Curious name for a restaurant!

    Remember seeing an Italian movie by that name. Wonder if there is any connection. Great sign. Wonder how the food is?

    Probably from the classicItalien movie. And there's a Swedish youth movie called Cykeltjuven, (same name), from the late 1970s. I'm in it for probably two seconds!
