Wednesdays of Who Wore What

January 26, 2011 5 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!

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!

With love from: Illinois

I received this super nice photo and story from Illinois by Tim B:

Dad and his new Schwinn Varsity, May 1973

Dad and his new Schwinn Varsity, May 1973

Pictured: My dad’s 197X (1974?) Schwinn Varsity.  Put some air in the tires, gave it a test run, and took it out for a GREAT ride  this morning. It needs to be greased, tuned, de-gunkified, and have all the other things done to it that have not been done in 20+ years.  But for now… Perfect. Solid. LOVE that bike. I’ve been window-shopping for road bikes for years, but I think my resources will be better spent “tuning up” this one. Love it.  If it ain’t broke…

Blue bottle bicycle boys.

December 9, 2010 No Comments

Well, isn’t it a treat to run into these two fine gentlemen.
We are all in the getting coffee before heading to get more coffee society. And then some.
Love seeing local baristas around town, stopping by various neighborhood coffee spots. This at Sightglass.
Baristas who love bikes, and are so good at making coffee, and know me by name for years as a caffeinated customer of theirs — That, is a beautiful trifecta.

mi favorite blue boys
I have seen Alex riding his bike all over town for ages, most times in the early mornings. 
And John, he’s got the prettiest blue eyes in the Hayes Valley coffeelands =)

Knit to knit you

scenic knit 

The motivation for returning to work after the Thanksgiving break is low. The belly is way too happy and I am all for finding any possible distractions on my various routes to work, caffeine being the main big crutial distraction. 

I have come across these adorable findings all over town. The knit bombers, knit invasion and whatever they are called, I like them a lot. 

My pretty bloggie-friend over in New York Jennine found some super wacky pink-red sweaters, I am very likely to wear myself (the-coveted link) and my buddy Keoki shared a link Berkeley’s yarn bomber “the Russian” (berkeleyside link). I am liking this movement of knitted pieces around the interweb, and even better to see them upclose. I’m sure our bikeys love it!

Have you seen any of these around your neighborhood, or bike routes? They are so cool! =)

Blue bread bike, brioches, birotes and bigotes

Mariachi hat, bici bread hat
I love it!!

I don’t think I had noticed that pretty painting of the panadero bread man on his bici.
It must be fairly new, so I asked the guy working if he knew who panited it – and he said:
“I don’t know who or where that is supposed to be, it was painted by this guy that comes and works here sometimes, so he just put it up”
 
Well, whoever that happy bigotudo is (man with thick mustache) in that painting, smiling with his cute overalls and blue bike, even a running chucho as a sidekick, he needs to come visit me *right now* and deliver me some of that sweet bread and empanadas, to go with my coffee =)

Sir Paul is a known avid bike lover. This vegetarian can be found on a bicycle quite often.
Allan even told me know a reader of their blog spotted him around the time he had his San Francisco show back in July this year, while he was bicycling around Golden Gate Park – as long as his photo wasn’t taken.


Here is Ringo, so cute!
and below, their music powered by Ringo’s bike. How rad is that!?
 

“…Ringo’s bicycle is actually powering a drum machine.”

I think I’m gonna be sad,
I think it’s today yeah.
The girl that’s driving me mad
Is going away, yeah.

She’s got a ticket to ride,
She’s got a ticket to rihiiiiiiiiide,
She’s got a ticket to ride,
But she don’t care.
