Blurry San Francisco
A great deal of what San Francisco has to offer is in this picture.
The SF experience can leave you seeing like this sometimes, too.

Stick It To 'Em, Thom!
My friend Thom has started his own little comic strip! I like it. You should, too. Thom is the creator of "Old Bike Blog" (now defunct-ish but, nonetheless, full of great info!), and "The World Awheel" . James and I got to meet Thom on his home turf last year, which was fantastic. If San Diego was closer I have no doubt we would be regular ride partners (and pizza partners, and beer partners, and "hey, wanna try to make a set of panniers?" partners...)
Long story short, go read his strip! I have a soft spot for stick figures!

Howdy, Ma'am.
From Val, our "Bikedude" extraordinaire! We love when he sends us stuff. I always picture him riding off into the sunset after making the range a more bikeable place!
Today, as I was walking through the local grocery store, I had to pause for a moment to give a couple of very young girls a chance to consolidate themselves to one side of the aisle. They looked to be 3 and 4 years old, out shopping with their dad. The older one (who had the task of carrying the basket) looked up at me as I passed and said "Cow..boy". I get this a lot from the small ones, and I always just walk away proud, thinking "Yep, well spotted, kid". This time, as I walked away, I heard the dad telling her "No, no - that's that dude on the bike, you remember, you've seen him...". Now I'm thinking "Oh HELL yes!" Say what you like, but I seriously believe that the cowboy hat makes me much more visible, and therefore keeps me safer, than any bike helmet.

it's monday! time to mixte it up!
it will not be a surprise to long time readers of the blog that the SF crew of CYLRAB are mixte fanatics. in fact, i like them so much, i've had two. just one now :(
exhibit a:
calitexican's bici #2, meli's frenchie and ade's S.A.M.
exhibit b:
(the same usual suspects)
and finally, we have the most recent installment of the mixte lovin', a lil piece i like to call...
cali's joanie baby, ade's S.A.M. & meli's frenchie.
friend to the blog, eric, upon seeing the above picture jokingly asked,"is there a law in sf that says all mixtes must have wire front baskets? just wonderin'... "
the three of us SF CYLRAB members of course had to respond to that..separately of course:
cali's response:
ade's response:
and, finally, meli's response:
now, i hereby call a very friendly and totally benign mixte competition. how many english beats (bicis of english heritage) do you see compared to french presses (velos of the french make)?
GO! ;)
on another note, do you notice the people you like/like to ride with tend to have the same bikes as you? road bikes, vintage, fixies, MTB, touring, steel, trikes? i feel like the answer may not be as easy as it could be at first glance. this may be because the people you know may have more than one bike. maybe not.
have a happy monday Y'ALL.

cali's response:
yes, it is codified...."upon whence you procure a vintage mixte, which was found by various means, but never through a bike store, thee shall place upon the front wheel a large basket. after basket is attached to aforementioned predetermined location, a back rack is optional, but a bungee cord and a ringing apparatus of some fashion is not."
ade's response:
it is actually the 11th Commandment.
Thou shalt adorn thy mixte with those things that make it pleasing to the Lord and practical for carrying the Holy Beer.
and, finally, meli's response:
Mixtes and the lady owners must stay hydrated from either barley or caffeine beverages. Repeat daily from either one.
For further reference please consult the HH handbook, beer:30 ext. happy hour.

Public Service Announcement
The days are starting to lengthen in the Western Hemisphere. Spring is starting to show its self. Those who prefer to ride in lycra are pulling out the lycra shorts.
Please, for all of us out there who ride behind you, if you are pulling out shorts from last year, please, please, please, make sure they have not become see-through with use!!!! I rode for a mile today behind a guy whose chamois shorts were so worn I could tell just how hairy his buttocks were. It was awful. I couldn't catch up with him enough to let him know that I was getting mooned every time he leaned forward. He probably would have liked to know that when the sun hit him his shorts were thin enough to detect the shifting shadows in his crack.
So, people. If you wear lycra and it is from last year, make sure you check it out for coverage. There are enough road hazards and distractions for us all without the addition of de facto nudity.
Oh yes, one other item- Just because you have on Hi Viz clothing on does not mean you have the right of way. The drivers may be blinded by your visibility but they still have the right of way if they were already moving into the intersection when you decided to ride through it. The only thing that will happen here is that you will be more visible while getting hit.
Enough said. Go check your shorts and get riding.

TGIF!!
I hearts this picture.
This has become our parking spot for Chilango's on Church st. which is the spot to be for filling Mexico City bites. Ade, Melyssa and I try to go at least once every 2 weeks. We bring the girls and occasionally our good guy friends. This was a couple of Fridays ago.

This Just In!
Bikes and tacos!!! Throw in a beer and we have a deal! The Facebook invitation has 259 confirmed guests as of this posting. I say, be patient while waiting for your taco! Maybe try to pop some wheelies while you wait : ) Thanks to our Flickr group friend "Cold Iron" for the heads up!

Tuesday Injection of Fun: Bike in the box.
When in doubt about 'weather' measures, bring a box. Like curious cats, people will be drawn to it. I know I was - even if my bike was parked next to it. Funny!
Bikes On Credit
Alright. I hate these ads. They get stuck in my head and make me grumpy. However, this one at least does not show us in a terrible light. When he gets denied credit, it is at the bike shop, not the car lot. This means that those of us on bicycles here in the USA are finally making an impact. It may not be the best ad, but we are not portrayed as idiots or freaks and we are encouraged to keep riding. I'll take it!

Best first ride ever.
Ready for your Monday dose of awesomeness?!?!
I love mythbusters. Who doesn't? and this is AWESOME.
I met Adam for a new york minute after a bike ride on Mission street earlier this year, I tell you if you live in the city, sooner or later people end up running into each other. No exceptions.
He is rad.
Mythbusters, unicycles, golden gate bridge and our beloved city = RAD.
♥okthxbye
