Santa Cruz Street Style Bike Photo - Post Office

Ann rides her pink Cruiser bike to the Post Office - Downtown Santa Cruz 

On the way to my Post Office I came across Ann - soaking up the warm spring sunshine on her shiny pink cruiser bike. Obviously she already has a healthy sun glow to her skin and it's only just early spring. 

Flip flop sandals,

denim cut offs, 

tank top, 

baseball cap, 

and tribal woven bag (barely visible) 

All makes for super, simple California Chic.

Official Fall Day + Japanese Vintage Bicycle Girl

 

{Japanese Girl on her Bicycle - instagram photo by RidingPretty}

A village girl in Japan riding her bicycle -- it's part of a larger original painting depicting vintage Japanese village life. I've passed by this painting often enough, it is right outside one of my favorite Japanese Restaurants.

Today is one of those perfect October days, just chill enough to add socks and a scarf to my riding attire for the day. It's also Farmer's Market today, so like the girl in the photo it's off to the market I go!

p.s. can anyone guess where this photo was taken? Tweet me with your guesses -- or any comments, anything you'd like to say about this post? - @RidingPretty / blog post shortcut is: bit.ly/QSMGK1

Cycling Fashion Vintage Charm

Circa 1936! This little vintage bicycle fashion video is so delightful, so Enjoy!

No, it's not by a new fashion campaign video dreamed up by Sonia Rykiel...

As you can't help but notice -- the short shorts are exactly spot on, an ongoing trend again in 2012.  Besides, who could not help but adore those little high waisted shorts in the latex look. Too cute. 

Sexy cute on a bike waaay back in 1936. Nothing new after all as far as women and fashion and bicycles go.

Cycle Chic's Hot in a Helmet Campaign

(Shelly@RidingPretty photo -- CycleChic's Hot in a Helmet)

Caz of London Cycle Chic and CycleChic UK let me know of a fun, new campaign --

"Do you look Hot in a Helmet? Join the campaign by tweeting your pics to @cyclechic or email hotinahelmet@gmail.com"

It should come as no surprise that RidingPretty likes helmets -- so naturally when my friend Caz asked if I had any photos to contribute I said YES!

Contrary to some people's impression of what it means to be truly Cycle Chic or not -- I say look stylish in a helmet if that's what suits you. Please simply ignore anyone who says you are not in accordance with Cycle Chic® just because you added a piece of headwear (albeit a helmet) to your outfit ensemble. Who wants to be a follower of fashion rules or dictates anyway! Amen.

Vintage Bicycle Postcard -- Kitty Cats

Sweet Vintage Bicycle Postcard -- Kitty Cats with a little Doggie friend along for the ride. It makes me wonder where they are off to, what adventures are ahead!

The illustration is over a 100 years old, so needless to say no artist or copyright attribute is listed here or required :) I love collecting old bicycle posters. I think I will have this one printed up, framed -- then add it to my bicycle poster collection, the one I have hanging along my hallway. It should fit in nicely.

Happy 4th of July!

Have a great Holiday this 4th of July! 

Beach Life in Santa Cruz California. Pink beach cruiser bicycle, yes a photo I retrieved from my photo archives :)
