Best World Cup Spirit on wheels: KT!

Message from the sidewalk by Kristin Tieche

Well since all of the teams we had rooted for (US, México, France) are out, as big world sports followers most of us will be watching the remaining games from home, work, the park (Civic Center here in SF has free screenings! more info»)
I also wanted to share photos from our biggest gatherer and vélo most spirited hottie: KT!
Here she is below posing in Spain's colors, earlier in June.
Her and the Vélo Vogue gals have a flickr pool going on: Bike To The Cup

Good times vuvuzelanians! :D

tuesday injection of fun: red and roger

i was talking to someone earlier today about the name of my red bike.

some of you may know my red bike is called joanie baby. half of her namesake comes from this:

if you watch mad men, you know that this character's name is joan.

if you watch mad men, you know this character's name is roger. roger's nickname for joan is "red."

and i guess roger, or rather the actor who plays roger, john slattery, rides a bike while holding what appears to be a script. meowwwrrrr. oh heeeeey there roger. nice bike.

so now you know part of the story of the name behind my bike. :)

tuesday injection of fun: pride and perpetual indulgence

so, being that 75% of the contributors of this blog live in SF, i do think it would be remiss not to mention that this month, june, is pride month. rainbow flags are happily flapping in the fierce winds, tangling themselves around their posts from the financial district to the beach.

and just the other day i stumbled upon a sister. a sister of perpetual indulgence that is.

NOT the actual sister i saw. i think.

i was at an intersection on the border of the castro on joanie baby patiently waiting to cross market street, when i see a single solitary sister enter the cross walk. and she just looked so awesome and confident, i just HAD to say something.

me: (dingding) oh heeeey gurrrl! (waving)
sister: (looks around confused, sees me, smiles) hey! happy pride!
me: happy pride!

so, yeah, happy pride everyone!

addendum: now that i think about it, this post fits under the first (and already closed) part of the fun and inspiring LGRAB summer games! if you haven't checked it out yet, please do! you could win a rad bat and be like ade riding all over your town.

tuesday injection of fun: brain exercise

so, meli and i were walking down the street one day when we happened across this rather puzzling brain exercise. we walked past, looked at each other, (figuratively) scratched our heads, then went back to take pics:

um, does anyone have any ideas as to what this could be? please share cause i'm still scratching.
