coffee love, weekend report

One for the weekend. Ok, many.

February 27, 2010 5 Comments
Caffeinated duo.

Lots of coffee. As usual. This is at Matching Half. They use Santa Cruz’s beans Verve. Good stuff. Bring a friend, make new ones. I love this spot.
Speaking of Santa Cruz, there is a tsunami alert due to the recent Chile earthquake. eeeeek

Linktastic!

February 27, 2010 4 Comments

Okay, Okay. I know I’m way overdue to update my blogroll, which is about 1+yr old, so bare with me. Way too much fun all the time ya know?! It is lovely coming across such cool blogs and give them a little space here to show off my recent finds, why not. The blogesphere has only brought me pretty positive experiences connecting with people with many similar interests, mainly bikes. It is almost like we ride a cyber bike lane and share pics while at it. Super!
Here are some of my recent finds. Enjoy-

♥San Francisco: c.walk.ride tumblr
We came in contact thru this picture, turns out he has a tattoo, about 6 months old, related to it. I love how photos and the internet connect people. Pretty sweet.

♥Bay Area | Skip Allums
Nice photos with very well written stories that sometimes go with them.

♥Southern California: San Diego County | Vélo-flâneur
I might have mentioned this before, but Estaban’s view and also randonneurisms are super cool. he lives on the other end of the state but comes up to ride bikes and visit often to the bay area. Fellow coffee fanatic. Can’t wait to ride with you and the randonneurs soon!

♥New York: Brooklyn-based | for the love of bikes
The posts on this blog are very design oriented. and I like that. love their little logo too. cute.

events in SF 2010, fun, la blogesphere, las neighborhoods in SF

Los events: bikeNOPA this Sunday.

February 27, 2010 No Comments

Bike Nopa brings another great ride this Sunday.
Meets at my latest fave find for Verve deliciousness, Matching Half at 930AM. Ride leaves at 10AM.

This Sunday, Feb. 28th, NOPA VELO spins through the neighborhood and beyond for its second monthly bike ride for neighbors and friends. “Death by Duel” gives a nod to U.S. Senator David Broderick who gave his name to one of NOPA’s streets … and, yes, his life also to keep slavery out of California or, the less heroic version of his story, to settle a personal score with his one-time best friend, David S. Terry, California Supreme Court Justice.

To finish off the week packed with posts of women on wheels, here is one more set of the ladies from butterlap last Wednesday. Weather was fantastic, maybe low 50°s, clear skies with really misty magical fog goodiness towards the ocean.
Perfect way to unwind is to ride – TGIF ♥xo.meli

Wednesday women.

February 24, 2010 3 Comments

I had the chance to meet two wonderful women on wheels this past Saturday during the Oakland Taco Truck ride. (+post soon). It is always very inspiring to hear from other local women, riding their bicycles and sharing their story, their perspective and experiences from the bike lanes in the Bay Area.
It also touched my bikey heart when a woman that reads Change Your Life. Ride a Bike! talked to Ade about the collective blog that we are proudly part of, which is a collab by 4 women.
We are present and we are here to ride. Let’s go my women, get on those bicycles!!!

♥ It has been a pleasure meeting you ladies!!

Hump Day Inspiration: Much love to San Francisco parks.

February 24, 2010 3 Comments

Because let’s admit it, most action happens on the bike lane & eventually, we make it to the park to meet friends, eat our lunch, catch up on the weekend, walk a dog, spend some quality solo time or read a book, parks are there. And we are fortunate to have such lovely green open spaces throughout every neighborhood of our city.

Both above photographs taken last year by my awesome friend Dusty, in the Hayes Valley Playground park and open space for several artist to do their art installations (this time of year was a huge silver colored piece sign.
Can you believe this area right, carried tremendous traffic on a giannormous SF freeway?! that is, until the 1989 earthquake.
