And they come sans the attitude, deep V-necks and skinny jeans. They come in skirts, with baskets and bells, and they are my girls. (here is calitexican’s). Tattoos are optional. Welcome to Spring 2010.
They can still be good friends though. An Italian Cinelli and my very sassy Frenchie, with a caffeinated common interest. Bike parking at Blue Bottle coffee on Linden. A happy place.
Spring is officially here. Not that we have any sort of serious winters around here, but is nice to say we have now changed seasons, which means you will see lots of skirts around town – on or off bikes. Nice!
When I got this skirt last year, I thought it might not work with the pedaling. That is always taken in consideration when/if I get any clothing, it has become some kind of second nature. Whoever invented stretchy corduroy. Kudos.
Do you also mimic your bike position when trying out clothes or getting dressed? It is the invisible-bike dance. Come on, you do it like there is no one watching, right 😉
I ride a bicycle. She rides a motorcycle. We are both quite passionate about it.
I got contacted by local magazine 7×7 San Francisco a few weeks ago, asking for permission to print one of my photos. Nice! I immediately texted Omar (to get a “model’s” permission, according to me) and said:
“Ur butt, in print Y/N cool?!”
“oh 4sure- which pic?…”
Mind you, I have many Omar-photos of his little rear end because I’m always behind him. He is an awesome friend of mine, and we used to ride a lot more last year. You know, girls and work. and stuff.
OK, back to the picture. It is from Sunday Streets last year. The magazine 7×7 is currently out and about the city, the photo is printed in the index page(s) and somewhere in the main body. I haven’t yet bought it, will do soon this week…
I got a kick that the sub-header of the article is “Three recommendations if a fixie isn’t the ride for you.” I feel like we’ve had this conversation before. Isn’t the fixie very 2000-late? ja jaaa…
This photo was taken on Valencia street and 23rd, June 7th 2009.
In the mean time, here is the web article, enjoy! :
