SF Melis Rings
SF Meli’s Rings by [Zakkalicious / Mikael]
Photo above taken my Mikael on his visit to San Francisco.
I’m holding Adrienne’s camera. Possibly one of my fave pics taken of me, that was a great mellow day.

♥ Euro cadillac boy comes to visit us and leaves his heart in SF. Love the photos of my girls, excellent job capturing the SF vibe. Mikael describes us hitting the nail on its head: CopenhagenCycleChic

————

♥ A lovely description from a recent blog find. I like the set of blogs I follow from the Lone Star state:

“Dusk is one of my favorite times to ride. The excitement of the day is over; it is peaceful. The heat of the day is dissipating. Hurrying just doesn’t seem right; better to ride slow and savor it.” -Doohickie

♥ A great analogy on the bliss of this machine we all love:

“There is no point in dwelling on the negative, because it will only spoil the enjoyment of my ride. It is best that I just ride my bike, observe what is happening, and deal with the problems as they occur.” -Dave Moulton | Everything I need to know about life I can learn from my bicycle

♥ A great analogy on the bliss of this machine we all love:If you think everyone is destined to drive in EL LAY, think again. I have read extensively about all things progressiv in LA via greenLAgirl, but here is a great article from the LA times, sent by Bikes&TC reader Christelle -Thx!!

Found this from their site, quite clever:

Tips for Surviving the Crawl
• Arrive early for the best “seat” (more likely, standing room only!)
• Take BART or ride your bike
• Wear comfortable shoes — and walk damn fast (total route, end to end: 1.16 miles)

I wanted to say thank you to everyone of you that takes the time to read and enjoy this little San Francisco bicycle adventures blog of mine, even drop a comment here and there, or taken time out of their day to write me a nice note or an email.

I truly appreciate it and am very grateful that I am able to express and share via this media, the bliss that a bicycle brings to one’s personal quality of life. The rest of the situations around me sometimes feel like they can be sh*t, and yet, the moment I hop on the bicycle, it all seems to fall into place. Or at least for the moments I’m transporting both my body and mind to another place, to the point ‘B’, to get out and ride, get serious, stretch out and play, get to work, be a clown, have fun.


Nightriders.

Bicycles are amazing and, if you have found inspiration here for you to go ride more, explore your city on wheels, and maybe drink a cup or two of coffee – is awesome! You inspire me everyday♥Thank you all.

Ok. That was that, now here are some links and pretty things readers have shared. Enjoy!!

Lee has passed the info for the SF Randonneurs, mark your calendars!:
The San Francisco Randonneurs would like to invite you to participate
in our first ever Fall Populaire, to be held on October 3rd, 2009. This is
a free event. The Populaire is 115 km in length (71 miles) and has a time
limit of 7.5 hours. The Populaire is intended to introduce riders to the
sport of randonneuring. Most of our brevets are 200km in length, but
the Populaire is slightly more than half that length. Read more…

♥And thanks to Erik, over at ecoprofile, for including one of my info/photo in this post:

Transportmedel, motionsredskap …och modeaccessoar? -Swedish
Transport equipment, fitness equipment …and fashion accessory? -English

*Also in that post, the lovely Dottie from Let’s Go Ride a Bike! and a link to my collab blog (with Ade&Caryl) Change Your Life, Ride a Bike! Sweetness

♥ Mad props to my boy JAY over at Little Star, for such excellence in service.
Tell him I say hi, if you get a chance go have a pie over at their Divis. location. I enjoy myself everytime and love going with my peeps & this last week was no exception. My camera was out of juice, but here is a picture of us about 3.5 years ago. Good times – cheers!
