Change your life ride a Bike

...From my Flickr friends Meligrosa ( bikes and the city) and Busbozo cycle mom extraordinaire, I thankfully have been awarded photo of the week in their amazing Blog, " Change your life, Ride a Bike"

These two stylish San Fransiscans are cornerstones in the amazing bike culture and show how easy it is to change your life by riding a bicycle.

Happy Friday, and Happy riding!

with the kids..

It's summer time and amidst summer renovations and weekend trips to the cottage I find myself daydreaming of taking an extended a break with "the kid."
Mr.Dia is not yet old enough for the 5+ stage of the Loire Valley of France, but the transition from a 3 yr old to 5 is only 1 summer away. It's time to set some travel goals.
My travel bug sister Jen got me turned on to Butterfield and Robinson, whos. "slow down and see the world" train of thought invokes the imagination of a 5 year old and imprints memories that will last a lifetime.

Their ,"By Bike" tailored trips for singles to families allow the urban cyclist to expand their global cycle style horizons.

what lovely heels you have...

the better to ride by the people stuck in traffic with my dear.

I finally found the replacement to M's picnic basket, the quick release vintage Samsonite makeup case makes a great addition to her rear end.
If you live in Toronto and need a free replacement picnic basket shell for your Twenty, email me and i'll get it to you( minus the mounting bracket which i used, and you'll need your existing wooden base board)
