Stolen bike alert: in the TL

February 9, 2011 No Comments

Bici theft diarrea going on eh?! Let’ be careful and know how to properly lock your beautfiul machines people. Damn you bike thieves!!!
This is a re-post from the tender blog via mi amiga Calitexican.

Help find ‘kidnapped’ bike

Dear Tenderblog,
My beloved mountain bike, Gruff, was stolen out of a brown Toyota 4Runner last night on Polk & Post. Yes, I’m an idiot for leaving it in the car. The thief broke the rear window and abducted Gruff. Any chance you could post this pic and see if anyone has any information? It’s a blue Cannondale F7. It has stickers that say “The floggings will continue until morale improves,” UCSF Bicycle ID #8481, and 9:20 Special on it. I’d also appreciate it if any Tender readers have tips on how to recover a stolen bike.
Thanks,
Bereft cyclist

Sun sphere

Not even going to tell you how hot it was around here over the weekend. I would really want the fog back because I’ll be the 1/1000 to not lay in the sun like a lizard as soon as we get these heatwaves.
However, this is rather strange. Weather across the states is having a temper tantrum.

California is also my homestate, so yes, I’ve only known 2 seasons my whole life. The one that is sunny, and the one with the fog.
I love you too.

Sunkissed-bike kiss from the golden state.

My amiga Diana, loves this sweater from modcloth. So cute!

One of my top, favorite bloggie friends Jennine of The Coveted, pretty much had her blogging identity ‘duplicated’ into this new site, under the same exact name, which claims to be “the selby for closets.”

I think it is rather a cheap-shot being that her blog of 4+ years has earned a very good reputation around the web.
Do you think they intentionally want to mis-direct her readers?! What are your thoughts upon scenarios like this?
There is only one The Coveted, and in the internet/fashion/blogging community, we know which one it is.
Jennine is well known and well loved, and it is always LOVELY to catch her whenever she comes back to town (in 2009, in 2010).
There is an article which recently presented the situation, read furthermore about it: fashionablymarketing.me/…

Weeklong nap.

January 26, 2011 14 Comments
no more naps, we nomnoms nao

Where was I? Well, I was sick as hell.

I got hit with the flu pretty hard last week. It kicked my butt.
I’m pretty sure my cat Velcro really thought I was in the process of becoming an actual cat, as I slept so much. After a whole week of rest, I’m feeling a lot better.

Been drinking lots of hippie teas –gotta spoil the body with a little change! and looking forward for my early caffeinated mornings once again. I’m also pretty sick of soup. ish.
Ok, let’s hope this is a beginning for another healthy streak.

Walking around.

January 11, 2011 8 Comments

Is not called bici flat chorro for no reason.
This is an ongoing pffffttt of flats and a slashing combination between a few days of plenty of rain and new year’s glass+evidence of too much fun EVERYWHERE. Upon my 5th flat tire encounter within a week (including 2 flats during the SF Bike Party), I decided to give walking a chance while I get Frenchie ready to sport brand new tires today. I am more than likely going with the Continental kevlar Polk street-approved tires which I don’t recall the name, but they are about 40$ea. It’s about that time again. Unless you all have extremely nice reviews from those glowing reflective tires which I have also been eyeing for awhile.
Any recommendations to deviate me from the kevlar ones will take some really good reasons, but please do feel free to adivse, I’d like to know if you swear by a specific one/brand.

In the meantime here is one rare shot from MUNI, which I very rarely ride.
