Jan 5th 2011 – The first Butter lap in 2011 San Francisco. Flat tires/punctures (I think we had 7 in total) and bloody whipeout. No, it isn’t always like this. Actually, I don’t recall any bloody falls or that many flat tires at all, in the last few years of doing butter. Rain + New Years = crappy junk all over the streets. Continues after the fotos —

The most popular photo (below), without me even uploading to the interwebs as of last week. Dang.
We are all adults here, so refrain yourself from helmet/no helmet use. I must say however, that gears and brakes are VERY nice to have for butter, unless you want some knarly scars like this crazy one. I don’t remember if he had a helmet or not, point is that hill is STEEP and really fast, I am always terrified if I go fast, I can always break a limb or lose control, hit a car on the curve and fly over to the ocean to fall into a shark’ mouth. OK I’m exaggerating, but you know what I mean.

eeeek

I was highly impressed at how nice and helpful the Clif House staff were (two men came out to check that it was all good with the group). They also offered Keith to use their first aid kit and restroom to wash up, which I thought was very kind of them. Take good care of yorself dood!

The rest of the ride after multiple flats and Keiths’s incident, was the latest we have arrived to Bender’s. We usually get there at around 9PM, this time we got there at 1030PM. Oy.
New year, new stories.
Damn. Ride on!

Wednesdays of Who Wore What

January 12, 2011 2 Comments

Who wore what is a weekly series. And if you have any submissions, questions and of course fotos, feel free to share. All fotos taken in San Francisco.

This is not necessarily about being chic or into fashionable things or trends, but if you want, it can be.
It is about being yourself, what works for you and what makes you comfortable, confident and happy to ride your bike!

Los butter boys
Boys of butterlap. Jeans jackets and scarves, let’s ride!
Why this works: This pretty much shows you can ride in whatever you wear when you walk down the block near your house or workplace, just add a bike (and a few layers)
Where: Somewhere in crissy field

reesie shows off her new bag!
Why this works: Reesie is layered in a very multiple layered San Francisco fashion. May be wool, may be cotton, she looks pretty warm. And she is showing off her bright visible mustardy yellow new bag, very cute!.
*It’s made by Al Onkka in Minneapolis.
Where: The pandhandle.
