i like boys on bikes

Even though summer in SF means pea soup fog, I still have the fever.

Bachelor #2 deserves the spotlight.

Tone on tone in Palo Alto.

The teal frame and white tires look turns heads [mine].

Hello, houndstooth!

DFF: Hot dudes

Last week, KT kicked off our photo summary of the Disposable Film Festival. Now that I've set the stage, I'm presenting a series of photos of the event this week starting with some of the hot guys who attended.

You probably already know Steve from the SFBGuardian and his bright red bike. (I have a vague recollection that it used to be pink and fuzzy.) With him is Carlton, one of the event organizers.

Here, KT is shooting a cutie on suped-up beach bike with monkey bars. The classic dress shirt and slacks suggest he just came from work.

I don't know about you, ladies, but when I look at this face, a little voice in my head calls out "will you be the father of my babies?"

OK, ditto for the next two. If they get cuter, I probably can't take it.

Also, love the sports coat, dress shirt, tie and jeans....

* Today, I am the most in love with this one.

Hello, James Dean (again -- KT found a different one in her photo stream)....

cute commuter

Picture this:
dress shirt and tie
slacks
jogging shoes (??)
10-speed with rack
messenger bag
helmet

No wait, you don't have to. Because here's a picture:

OK, fine, it's another cute boy on a bike. So, sue me. No, wait, don't.

Thanks.

folding bike/business man

I saw this guy in full suit and tie snoozing on BART earlier in the year. He struck me as the perfect businessman/commuter. He didn't even loosen his tie before beginning his nap.

between Moscone and Rainbow

I couldn't figure it out. Wearing a badge around his neck, he was perhaps riding home from a convention at Moscone Center or one of the other convention centers in SOMA. But he was turning the corner right in front of Rainbow Grocery, so I couldn't tell if he was coming or going. I guess it doesn't matter so much when you're dressed as he is, in a red button down shirt, multicolored tie, and snazzy dress shoes.

(GDH) Bicycle Music Festival

I spotted this guy at the Bicycle Music Festival. If you're going to look the part, make sure the bike matches.


This is Eco from the The Ginger Ninjas (a band that get around the country by bicycle.) The Extracycle makes bringing the dog along a lot easier.


Collared shirt, sensible shorts and a nice leather shoulder bag. Presentable and practical.


Flops, nice shirt, matching trousers and a tall bike. What more can I say?


I saw this couple in the park when the father was putting the helmet on his daughter. The seat rigged into the basket makes for good dual purpose use. He rode that bike, his partner was just holding it for him.


She: Strappy shoes, red dress.
He: Comfortable shoes, shorts.
It was only after I took the photo that I noticed they had matching bike frames.


You shouldn't let a helmet get in the way of fashion. This guy was relaxing in the park in his weekend ensemble. But he didn't forget to bring along his hat for when he was done riding.


P.S. Lilia has more photos of this event forthcoming.

tucked-in tie

As I've previously noted, around the time people commute home from work, the wind in SF kicks in with a vengeance; so, one way to avoid the tie-in-your-face catastrophe is by tucking it into your button down shirt.
