of moms and dads

An SF supermum in her classic tie-dye leggings shows her girls how it's done!


And I must admit that I had my eye on this hot daddi-o with that cute smile, cap and Chucks...


until I saw him consoling/encouraging/congratulating his daughter who was apparently learning to ride on two wheels in the Panhandle.

Way to go Moms and Dads!

princes on la playa

These cuties just picked up Whoppers and crowns at the Burger King on La Playa.

Although their food selection leaves much to be desired, I loved the one's blue cruiser and the other's lime green polo and bermuda short ensemble. (And some chicks like wife beaters too.)

All hail the princes!

outside the VRC

I've been hanging out a lot at my favorite SF cafés lately (singing the unemployment blues). Half of the time you will find me at Velo Rouge, located on the Arguello Street bike lane just a few blocks from my house. It's both bike-themed and bike-friendly, and in my opinion, has one of the best cappuccinos in the City. They always play cool music too.

I was hanging out there sans appareil photo a few days ago when I saw this pretty girl in red chatting with her buddy just outside. My new cell phone has a halfway decent camera, and I think this shot, with the afternoon sunshine streaming down, came out quite artistically.

tourist vogue

She was riding one of those tourist rent-a-bikes on the Arguello bike lane; so, I assume she was returning from riding across the Golden Gate Bridge. This fitted cotton-knit black and white striped dress over leggings is a perfect look for cycling en vogue especially in windy places like the bridge because the fabric is flexible enough for comfortable pedaling, but more importantly, you won't have the problem of onlookers being able to see London or France... if ya know what I mean.

The shoes did it for me.

saturday morning vogue

Certain cafés in San Francisco attract cyclists, Velo Rouge on McAllister and Arguello being one of them. I spent the majority of the late morning/early afternoon there yesterday. The bike path that leads to the Golden Gate Bridge passes right in front of the café, and cyclists sporting all sorts of attire pass by. Here's a lovely blonde cyclist donning a green patterned dress on her green Bianchi, fit for springtime.

vélo rouge|vélo vogue

In SF, café culture is often linked to bike culture. And both are linked to haute couture.

So I give you the fabulous Meg Lynch, owner of the Richmond District's bicycle-themed and green business certified café, The Vélo Rouge, riding up to work in a long slimming khaki skirt and black linen blouse on her signature red cruiser.
