Wednesdays of Who Wore What: SF Bike Party (January) edition

February 9, 2011 18 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!

SF Bike Party (January) edition
And you thought I had forgotten?! Last week I did, after posting the sum post for the SF Bike Party #1 and to compliment that, here is the Who Wore What edition.
robert y emily
Rob y Emily, and Denyse with high-watt smile in the background! =)
Why this works: It’s an adorable bikey couple on a tandem, say no more ♥!!
Where: This is on 8th Ave., in the Inner Richmond.

+ + WHEELMEN + +

jeromy
Why this works: Jeromy is like color theory on wheels. Orange and Blue are color complements which are colors placed exactly opposite on the color wheel. A+ in color bike theory!
Where: Somewhere along the Embarcadero.

jorge
Why this works: Simple, wear the clothes you wear. Let’s go.
Where: On Polk st.

crouching tiger. broken finger
Why this works: Bradley has uncorporated a blinkie light into his hand. It also shoots lasers at bad tea cups and zaps them with it. I don’t think Bradley’s doc reads my blog, so he won’t find out about such innovation… At least he is warm with that wool top and the fancy catlike bubblish helmet.
Where: Alta park in Pac Heights.

Philatronik!
Why this works: Phillip’s always fresh. His white jacket was visible even in the darkest streets. Matching tires a coincidence — don’t think so. What’s with the teal skull scarf? It’s RAD, that’s what.
Where: Laurel Heights.

+ + DOUBLE TROUBLES + +

dynamic duo
Why this works: This dynamic duo was all smiles. It is the best accesory and it never fails. Such sweet guys, it was great meeting you both! =)
Where: Embarcadero.

paz!
Why this works: (L)Duby’s gray coat is beyond futuristic. He is ready for all occasions. (R)Nio and his cargo cami pants, is able to pull his phone at any second needed.
Where: Ballpark

will y lady friend
Why this works: Will and his lady friend are layered up and ready to bike the distance. Gloves are a must, shoulder/messenger bags and comfy sneakers. Let’s ride!
Where: Fisherman’s wharf.

green greñas party
Why this works: Without a long-term hair commitment, green dreadlocks are the next hot trend. You seen it here first. And do you see la calitexican’s gloves. oh la la.
Where: Ballpark

+ + WHEELWOMEN + +
lmg!
Why this works: Did someone say style?! LMG always looks smashing. I LOVE that skirt =)))
Where: Embarcadero.

le machine
Why this works: Thick sweater, white cat (Cloud!) beanie and cozy gloves. The biking le machine is here! and KT’s dark red boots go with everything.
Where: Ballpark.

klaw
Why this works: (Posing with Woody’s bike) KLaw’s coat is a fun color mix and very cozy for the weather (that night was in the low 40F°s) which seem to have dropped lower as the night progressed. Bright as hell pink Chrome bag, check. Cowboy boots, check. +Thanks for keeping me company when the flat sensation invited themselves to the party. Love ya mamaz!
Where: Ballpark.

chloe y sacha
Why this works: There is no better way than to attend events with a good friend. The pretty ladies, Chloe y Sacha are attached at the hip or at the fenders, rather. Layered up with jackets, a scarf, party accesories and ready to keep partying on .
Where: Sacramento st.

amigas
Why this works: No streak of wind is going past these lovely women, they get the best duo-smile!
Does anyone know their names? I didn’t catch theirs, as the light turn green. Tell them they are fabulous.
Where: Sacramento at Divisadero.
**Update: Jean + Jack (thanks Margot!)

Time for the gentlemen on wheels to take over this week.
matching yellows
I captured this fast guy (don’t all bright colors just make you go faster?!) on an overcast mid-December morning.
Why this works: The yellows make him very visible, and they add sunshine when the weather lacks it. Plus any guy wearing tights and shorts seems pretty practical, and layer-savvy. Some sporty outfits out there are good, I like my athletes.
Where: This is on Polk and Broadway, early morning.

Hugh
Hugh. Sup.
Why this works: In the winter, the weather can be fabulous+sunny for a lunchtime ride, to a foggy windy afternoon. A warm coat and a scarf are never a bad decision. Simple and functional is timeless. And his non-chalantness comes naturally =)
Where: This is on Hayes and Divisadero

– – – –
All smiles
I forgot to ask this cute fellow his name, but if you know him, let him know he is interwebs-famous.
Why this works: Coat, backpack and scarf — check. You are well rounded with a super smile! I also think you can always pair dark denim very nicely for work and for after hours, here he goes a bit monotone and it is office-casual ready.
Where: This is also on Hayes and Divisadero
These two shots were obviously taken before we had our ‘heatwave’ here in San Francisco (Mostly mid-60°s this week) but don’t be fooled, the fog can strike anytime!

Events+moments del 2010: May 11th Dr. Sketchy’s girls on bicycles

January 18, 2011 7 Comments

Los events: this week There are some photos and events I didn’t get to publish last year, I will post them in the first couple of weeks of the new year so, some kind of my quasi-review of 2010.

+ + + + +

Last year, Alice invited Amanda, Constance and I to be the models for her fantabulous Dr.Sketchy’s event. The theme was Girls on bicycles and the event was SUPER fun. Posing and being still for 5 minutes is pretty hard work. It was awesome to see the pieces of art at the end, meet many of the artists and having a drink to toast for the event. Good times.

The event was at 111 Minna, we brought our bikes in and we posed with one of the bright orange public bikes. The audience was colourful and brught all their pads and pencils and were ready to rock. Here are the photos from the much overdue post from May 2010, so much fun!

Feed the models, had some snacks before heading to the event.
