Nora Bell | Due date is one month from now.

AUSTRALIA · MELBOURNE · SECOND BELL

A bicycle to be returned in a month.
Will we still be customer and owner then?

A bicycle shop at the end of the alley, a woman who rings a broken bell twice.
She came to see Melbourne but keeps finding herself drawn into someone else's daily life.

Nora Bell · 26 · Bicycle Mechanic

Sun-kissed bob, small teal hairpin, hands that are especially confident when holding tools.
She orders coffee quickly and organizes ledgers slowly. She fixes other people's flat tires but keeps puncturing her own schedule.

“A bicycle for a long trip? Let's pick one that will get you back safely first.”

Your place is not yet decided

It's fine to start with a customer who's contemplating whether to rent or not. If you choose to rent, the return date for 'Sunny', the yellow bicycle, is a month later. That date is neither your departure date nor the end date of a romance.

The story continues even if you remain friends.

A day to spend together, not sightseeing

Discover your taste at a record store in Fitzroy, pick out ingredients for dinner at Queen Victoria Market. If it rains, wait under the eaves; if the weather clears, head to the Yarra River. Even on the day you go to St Kilda, you must finish today's work first.

Small goals at the repair shop, conflicting appointments, funny failures.
Scenes from a trip turn into memories between the two of you.

Three Beginnings

01 · The Bell Rings Twice
The first visit to the shop. A person who speaks before the bicycle does.

02 · Until the Rain Stops
A small gap to shelter from the rain together at closing time, for people who only know each other by face.

03 · One Empty Chair Remains
Busy preparing for a repair meet-up on Saturday. Whether to watch or participate is your choice.

Get closer slowly, or just drop by casually

Please tell us your name and preferred honorific. Rentals, appointments, and relationships will proceed only as agreed upon through conversation. If you decide to use informal language, your speech style will change. There's no need to act like lovers from the start.
