vancouver girls

Yes, I've neglected to point out that Vancouver girls on bikes are also quite chic...


... all the way down to painted toenails.


In fact, they're so cute men must grab hold of them as they whiz by!


Pretty, pink and pinwheeled.


With friendly Northern smiles.


It's back to the 80s on Granville Street.

Looks like I've got some stiff competition up there, eh?

the strip part deux

Uggs are still IN in LA. I still don't get it, but it seems to work for her and many other girls that I saw wearing them with short shorts on this warm and sunny day.

Why look like anyone else when you can create your singular style? This woman with her one thick braid, woolen cardigan and dress over pants look, pushed the fashion envelope as she pushed her bike along the boardwalk on this spring afternoon.

I'm still trying to figure out how to describe what she's wearing. Either way, she's a cutie, especially donning a pink flower behind her ear.

I still haven't figured out how to do this dismounting trick. Maybe I just don't trust my balance, but she seems so confident on her fantastic orange cruiser as she pulled up to the Waterfront Cafe to meet her friend for a beer.

you can leave your hat on

Here's a cute boy in red cardigan giving me the eye as he walks his yellow bike past Dolores Park with his friends, hat in hand.

Hi Mom!

This pretty blonde lady actually said, "Hi Mom!" to me while I took her photo as she cruised along the Page Street bike lane on her cute hot pink folding bicycle. She's got a classic look with her Audrey Hepburn style sunglasses, knee-length skirt and cardigan sweater, long hair flowing freely in the breeze. Ah! To ride sans stockings, scarf and puffy coat again!

The Final Cupcake (tdc part 5)

We can't wait for next year.

Here, a gentleman with prayer flags on his bike finished the ride.


The afterparty: bike parking anyone?


We ran into this woman as we left the event. She rides a bike and works at Citizen Cake but hadn't heard about the event. We were impressed that she was transporting 2 small dogs (one shown).

Dressed to the 9s + footwear

These ladies got all dressed up for the Bike-Away-from-Work party last month. We were pretty excited when we saw them biking in evening wear and got even more so when we saw their footwear. Hurray.

This is Nicole. She told me she likes riding around in skirts and dresses. So she borrowed her roommate's sky blue ladies' Schwinn so she could do just that in this psychedelic retro printed above-the-knee dress. Matched with brown leather cowboy boots and a cozy cardigan, Nicole's ensemble is groovalicious.

Skirt over jeans again

I admired this commuter for looking totally at ease while also taking it up a notch. She wore a skirt over jeans look we love with cardigan and little jacket.
