I have seen this bike around the city many times, and always thought –that bike and my frenchie are so made for each other— I do not know who the owenr is (yet) but well, apparently the very tall he/she likes coffee too, because this was a stone throw away from Four Barrel. Good taste mate, good taste 😉

Frenchie’s boyfriend.

neat-to

*tip/hat to Jason, who showed the link to the person that actually built the bike//
Through the flickerland, J.Muir from Santa Cruz has this picture below showing Frances buiilding details:

As it turns out, J.Muir is the frame builder behind Frances Cycles, based out of Santa Cruz, and has built beautifuullllllll creatures such as this yellow mixte below. Oh my…

Anyways, couldn’t help myself but to share immediately a good dose of eye candy.

If those frames ever had offspring it’d be the an absolute gorgeous glittery blue tricycle…
Frenchie et Frances. Qué cute.

♥ Ah, the beautiful things roaming the small San Francisco bikeneverse!! ♥

Are you off work/school? What will you do today to celebrate your dreams, our history? Martin Luther King is a Day of Service here in the states. I found the website for the bay Area, though no bike-related volunteer events are listed, thought I’d share anyways: All for good»

And because my service today will be called work, this is for those of us at work today:

We’ve got bikes to ride afterwards. yeah.

Jeremy sent me an email for his bike which was stolen last week from Valencia 16th/17th. Please feel free to comment if any info.

San Francisco is bubbly laboratory of popping pizza joints. In the last few years the sensation and following of pizza –of all styles– has emerged and whatever pies you are into, you can find. The latest place that I’ve gotten to check out is the Mission’s newest pizza joint “pi” as in ∏. They are even open at 3:14, they claim 😉

Circle of openings.

If I will let first impressions impress me, then we start with bike parking racks. It influences me as a consumer and city dweller, weather or not my decision to visit a place allows my bicycle to be in the vicinity, and if it’s visible, it is extra good points.
That said. We rolled up and they were already a few bikes (including an xtracycle) parked outside, which typically means -look for another rack- right? so I suppose the 3.14+ formula was implemented because an extended bike rack welcomed our bikes to kick it with the other bikes, and as a plus, is right in front of their huge up front window. Perfect.

I see beer in your future

eel river porter, organic and all – wooooo fancy 😀

Pi bar on Valencia gets a my bike-parking friendly seal of approval. Cheers!
