North beach at night.
Park your bike, walk the allies at night, take photos, eat pasta, drink wine. Gossip. Campari.
Have a great weekend and ride on.

San Francisco is a game away from winning the world series. It’s crazy.
They’ve got the whole city painted orange and with black beards everywhere. And the won last night’s game, not to mention that pitcher is my brother’s age. Insane.
Last Saturday, the Ratta, the calitexican and I met up to chill out in North Beach for some beers and baseball. No skinny dot-comers, no snobby food, just beers, slices from Golden Boy, old timers and good times. The Texas Rangers won and la calitexican was happy.
Later that Saturday, I met up with Diana in the Civic Center area, which was lit orange. Ok that is all for now! -m.
Big meaning.
I am super happy to be rocking my little new saddle. It is a honey-colored Brooks B67.
It was 7PM and it must have been around 80° —- here we are, the one and only Dallas and I at Citizen Chain. He has been a huge fan of the sexy steel blue bike aka Frenchie for years. =)
Getting the ♥Frenchie back from a tune-up session felt awesome. Like my mood improved 2349x automatically, honestly it had been not the best week at work -ok it was really shitty- and about a week ago I was more than happy to pick her up from the finest bicycle establishment in the northeast of the city, North Beach’s own Citizen Chain.
Here are some pictures, as if I haven’t posted plenty of shots, it has been really cool to know the shop from when it used to be across the street not that long ago. Maybe 2+ years ago [link]? I don’t precisely know, but the shop is certainly always looking good!
Here is a mini photo journal. Enjoy!

He is currently my favorite coffee barista in San Francisco. I’ve had a huge barista crush on him for a few months, which means I’m in love with his coffee making skills.
Secret is out.
