These are such pretty spring looks (Marc Jacobs) featured in this month’s Vogue Magazine… and on the newsstand now.


You can't help but notice the sweet vintage Schwinn bicycle.


Vogue has consistently featured bicycles in their editorial layout through out the years.

Somewhere there is a piece that chronicled all the various fashion editorial spreads in which bicycles have graced the pages of Vogue.

hey, did you hear that in San Francisco Mayor Newsome wants to pilot a bike share program like in Paris!

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...


"I ride my bike, I roller skate don't drive no car
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"

Melanie "Brand New Key"

some how this seemed just right for today's post.

Dapper Cyclists |Tweed Run London | SF Tweed Ride

London-Tweed-Run-2009

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!
