Bicycling in Style

I found this picture on one of my favorite blogs, The Sartorialist. To me it illustrates the fact that you don't have to sacrifice style to ride a bicycle. A well dressed woman on a bicycle will always grab my attention. Interestingly, giving up the burdens of car ownership has allowed me to invest in clothes that fit well and define my style. Thank you Scott Schuman for focusing on people and their individual style.

Ride This Saturday, Rain or Shine

I will be riding this Saturday, Nov. 14th, for anyone wishing to join in. I will start at the plaza in Old Town at 9 A.M. ride North on the Paseo del Bosque Rec Trail (aka Bosque Trail) upto the Railrunner Station (Los Ranchos/Journal Center) and then take the train (#505) south to the Downtown ABQ Railrunner Station. It's only $1 to ride the train south to downtown or FREE if you purchase and print online. I'll probably stop for brunch along the way. It will be a slow and leisurely pace, not the Tour de France. Everyone is welcome...

Nob Hill Shop n Stroll, Last Night

Last night's Shop n Stroll was a blast. Great music, entertainment, and lots of cool bikes. The next one should be even better. Streets are blocked off from Carlisle to Girard. No traffic, no worries.
