Station Bike (noun) 🚲💨
A rusty, slightly wobbly, yet mysteriously unbreakable bicycle that lives at the train station. Often held together by duct tape, zip ties, and sheer determination. Looks like it was abandoned in 1997 but somehow still rides.
Primary function: Getting you from home to the station and back, while being so unattractive that even the most desperate bike thief won’t bother.
Secondary function: A test of your faith every morning—will the brakes work today? Will the chain stay on? Only the bike gods know.
Synonyms: "Rust Rocket," "Two-Wheeled Gamble," "Urban Relic"
