(His right hand is on his saddle, which is white, matching the rest of his bike. The one in the front of frame is on the other bike, this side of the pole. You can see the handle bars, with matching black grips in the back of the photo. Forget helmets, it's mandatory colourway curation coordination for the Milanese!)

I've been a little distracted of late and missed a post. Is it the moon ?
