Not All Lycra Is The Same

I remember the last decade that one would see cabbage rose tank dresses and denim leggings. I was riding a bike for transportation then, too : )

Taking a relaxing moment in the sunshine at one of my favorite plazas in SF.

The grassy hillside across from the Levi HQ is my favorite place to take a nap at lunchtime.

[Rod Kenny] Guest Photo: Cat in a Basket

Or should I say going to hell in a handbasket! Hats off to Rod Kenny of Vancouver for training Shadow to stay put and go along for the ride!

Here's what Rod has to say about this amazing feat: This is Shadow's favorite sleeping place. I took him for a ride one night and he seemed to like it. I think the trick is to let them get used to sitting in it first. So, I then I started easy by just pushing my bike up and down the hall with him in the back, and he seemed to really dig it. Lacking a proper cage, I devised a netting system with bamboo tied to the corners of the basket so he couldn't jump out, but would get lots of air.

same shades

Two men, two fixies, two pairs of the same shades.

Waaaaay coooool.

rouge et noir gets repair

My brake cable needed some love, so Bikeman Ben came to the rescue!


All better now!


Merci, Ben!

SF men go retro!

Same spot, different day! Maybe I should hang out here more often and see who shows up!

I love it when SF weather allows this to happen.

fast pass

She's faster than a speeding bullet! How about style AND speed?

rouge et noir et blanc

I wonder what's in that overstuffed messenger bag.

How about those shiny red flats! Another stylish cyclist coordinating her look with her ride!

Let's Go Giants! Let's Go Velo!

Giants still in Wild Card standing. LET'S GO GIANTS!!!

Gentlemen prefer plaid!



As a side note, I will be on vacation for 10 days. (Yay!) Your comments are anticipated, but might be slow in posting and responding. Back in biz on September 8th.

go to mass

Today is a great day to go to Mass!

I snapped this pic a couple months ago. These cyclists and I, after riding en masse for a few blocks on Market, tried to divert the crowd and ride down Mission Street, only to find that the rest of the group had the exact same idea! The moral of the story? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

Car Free Space

I am convinced that car free space makes people look better. Why don't we open up some more of it and test my theory?

On a typical foggy day in Morro Bay, California, wine country style is low-key and comfortable...

...with an eye towards essentials.
