i take photos!

Finally stopped by the Purple Pedals bicycle that I have seen parked on Valencia st. for a number of weeks. I know some of my peeps have spotted it in action and the bike is gadget central, set up with solar power gizmos, a cool mount and its lush color purple. It is a pretty cool ride, and seems to be popular around the city. Upon our return to the rack, which we parked our bikes next to, purple bike had left the scene.

Momentum in San Francisco

May 31, 2009 4 Comments

This past Thursday, momentum magazine threw a little party for us all bike lovers in the city in celebration of their San Francisco issue. It took place in a nice studio-art space on 7th st. Raffles, beer, bikes, bikers etc. I’m very happy I got to meet the super nice woman that is the editor here in SF! and more peeps that are also Bay Area staff. Cheers!


Beats and bikes.

That’s what I named these shoes after one of my favorite female singers. I got them over a year ago, but only felt like trying them out a couple of months ago. Sometimes you just gotta do things when the timing feels right.
Yes, they are clipless and they go on some gadget-y looking pedal, but I’ll be the first one to explore all ways of cycling and yet, remain to prefer high-heels and my frenchie above it all. Having so many beautiful mountains to climb and endless miles to explore around the Bay Area, I’m game. So, here we are. These shoes are still worn with dresses. Indeed. In these pictures I have knee-high socks and tights so, not much of a change. However, I do miss having my basket.
The smurfette has been getting some TLC riding time now and it is a fun ride.


What’s the 411?

Move forward.

Ride of Silence, San Francisco

Ride of silence by busbozo

wo Thursdays ago the Ride of Silence took place here in San Francisco. t was a nice quiet ride to honor those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways. The ride brought together a small sized-but good group of riders to pay the respect. We all know, that next year the group will continue to grow. It was nice to meet the group, including people from all over the country for such a small group, it was very nice. I also got to meet nicole, who is a reader of this blog and was visiting from the midwest for a few days. That was very cool.
[*A highly rare occasion that I forgot my camera – all pictures in this post are either Adriennes &/or Ramona’s, as indicated below each image.]

This phat flat happened hours after fixing a previous flat. that makes it 3 rear flats in a week.
Now with a new tire, can only mean I’ll be good for 4 more years, right…
