two wheels, yes. but, not quite..

(oops!!)

TGIF!! & weekend.

What do you look forward to do on the weekends? As a city girl I never take for granted there's a ton of events going at once. Sometimes I wanna go to all of them and the day only has 24hrs - whyy!!?? Anyways. Let's wrap up the week and unveil a fun weekend. Whatever your deal, is have fun, ride your bike and drink coffee or scotch, or grape juice. Cheers. ♥/xo.meligrosa

Farmer's market pair bike buddies. Saturdays (and Tuesdays at the Ferry Bldg.)

What I Can Carry On My Bike

Recently, I have been following along at Urban Simplicity. One of the regular posts is "Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike". Now, I don't own a Yuba Mundo, and I rarely use our Xtracycle, but I carry a fair amount of stuff on a daily basis. Here is what I carried on Wednesday-




3lb pineapple
2 lbs of shrimp
U-lock
cable
water bottle
purse
four year old boy
Thomas the Tank Engine

Smokin'

Yakota Fritz would like to know, do you think that Sarah, of the (pirate themed) San Jose Bike Party, is Cyclelicious?

My vote? Hell yeah! (and yes, that is an innertube garter : )

A new love is born.

My friend muffin, has been my 6yr. 'project' we have been friends for that long, and we have only bike together twice. One of them I told her I'd meet her for happy hour drinks downtown, and I ended up picking her up on a tandem for critical mass, she had no choice.

from February ♥Bikes and the City: Double Trouble

Might sound odd but we are the perfect example of opposites attract on a high friendship level. Anyhow, so this is not her story *yet, this is her story in-the-making.

It all started with an email from Dave in combination with her recent trip to Europe. She told me that I'd be so proud of her because she biked every hwere around Berlin for a few days. All she could talk about was bikes and bikes and Berlin and Berlin. Oh my, I thought, has my long-term poking and influence about bikes finally soaked in a little?

The above photo, she took in Munich. She said that she had to do a double-take because it could have been me and the frenchie out there! haaa, I could see that.. If there was a coffee shop around, that is. Anyhow, I have yet to see more pictures she took while in Europe, but more on that later.

Dave, who is our flickr™ friend, (Frisco Bay Sting Rays) had this bike:

Fast forward two or three weeks, and it is in hands of a very, very happy owner, who is so eager to get it up and going (it is in pretty good shape, just a little TLC is needed ;) We are hoping to get some work done this Saturday to make the Schwinn appearance for Sunday Streets, but we will see. It is a nice addition to the mixte little family within a family we have here in the city, and can't wait to see how her story of new experiences around the city, unfolds. ♥Ride on!! /xo.meligrosa
