Miley on her Bicycle... in Teen Vogue

photocredit/source: magazine issue of Teen Vogue

Miley's bicycle riding and shopping trips are now making the pages of Teen Vogue. I so hope Miley continues to be an inspiration and rides, rides her bicycle everywhere. At least in her neighborhood at any rate! Just imagine if everyone did their local shopping, and cafe/restaurant outings in their own neighborhoods... and all via bicycle.

For more inspiration: intense, neon colors, super cute and styled out with eye-candy, hyper attention getting fixie /track bike ...then this photo layout one and photo layout two is for you. Of course it would also just happen to be in Teen Vogue as well.

Teen Vogue likes bikes. We ♥ Teen Vogue.

I Ride My Bike...

Don't go too fast, but I go pretty far
For somebody who don't drive
I been all around the world
Some people say, I done all right for a girl"

Dapper Cyclists |Tweed Run London | SF Tweed Ride

2009 London Tweed Run

Tweed Run, you must go check it out for the incredibly dapper and chic gentlemen riding the streets of London! Check for the rest of the photos and story from Arkit (a great write up about the event), Roxy (the photographer) and especially Prolly is Not Probably where I first found out about the London Tweed Run.

 Please enjoy these fine looking Gentlemen! 

(A video link from the original 2009 London Tweed Ride was posted here, but since has been removed and is no where to be found.)

No sooner do you wish it, then it happens...this just in for all of you swooning over these fine cycling, tweed wearing gents. Guess what just came in from Colin. An Invitation to an inaugural San Francisco Tweed Ride:
February 12th will mark the inaugural San Francisco Tweed Ride 2009. 

***

Update: The San Francisco Tweed Ride is the first organized Tweed Ride or Tweed Run to occur anywhere in the world apart from the original London Tweed Run 2009. Colin organized it within hours after reading about the London Tweed Run in this exact post here on RidingPretty's blog. He contacted me quickly to let know a SF Tweed Ride was in the works, so I was able to announce the SF Tweed Ride immediately and changed the post title to include both London Tweed Run and SF Tweed Ride in this very same post. What fun that was!

More from Colin and the First SF Tweed Ride is here.

Miley... biking around her neighborhood - January 20, 2009, and yes just after returning from Washington DC. and performing at the “Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future.” Lots more photos of Miley at GossipGirls are here.

Look at the real, actual 'shopping by bicycle' Miley has accomplished. No car needed, she just jumped on her bicycle instead. Go Miley!

DIY Vintage Bicycle Care and Repair...Guest Blogger: Old Bike Blog

Guest Post: Getting Started on that Vintage Bicycle

This series is about getting started on refurbishing an old bicycle, oriented primarily to beginners. I won't be talking about "restoring" a bicycle to original new condition, but getting an old bike cleaned up, tuned up, and ready for the road again.

I believe strongly that everyone who rides a bicycle should know how to take it apart and put it back together again, replace worn-out parts, and diagnose basic problems. While I'm not going to try to cover all of that ground, I can at least get you started on that old bike project, and point you towards helpful resources.

Step One: Getting Familiar With Your Bike

By the time an old bike gets to you, it's likely to need some cleaning (see RidingPretty's guest posts on my Old Bike Blog for some green cleaning tips). With cleaning, you begin the process of becoming familiar with your new machine. This bicycle is going to carry you faithfully all over the place, so you should get to know it.

Even if you don't understand what all the little bits do yet, start making mental notes about where everything is and how it's attached. Photograph every part, nut, bolt, cable, doo-dad, everything. This will help you with reassembly, and also give you a sense of accomplishment when you compare the before and after pictures.

To help you learn all the parts, and get a basic idea of how everything on a bicycle works, here are a few links that I find useful. Some of this may seem a bit complex for beginners, while others may find it too basic, but bear with me, these are links you'll come back to again and again:

BicycleTutor.com (http://bicycletutor.com)

Great video tutorials to help you do your own bicycle work.

Sheldon Brown (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/)

The Internet guru of DIY work and everything bicycle-related. The glossary alone has become a standard reference. Unfortunately, Sheldon passed away about a year ago, so attempts to contact him through his site will not be successful.

Jim Langley's Bicycle Repair Page (http://www.jimlangley.net/wrench/wrench.html

A close runner-up to Sheldon Brown, and full of good information, clearly explained.

How Stuff Works/How Bicycles Work (http://www.howstuffworks.com/bicycle.htm)

A good introduction for beginners. Delivers what it promises.

Bike Jargon Buster (http://www.whycycle.co.uk/bike_jargon_buster/)

A helpful diagram of all the parts of a bicycle.

Next time, I'll talk about a few of the first things that should probably be replaced on an old bicycle before you ride it very much, and how to go about doing the work yourself.
