Flower 'Bicycle Bonnet' -- Easter

(ridingpretty bicycle helmet cover prototype, thrifted flower skirt, stirrup leggings, gladiator sandals, vintage motobecane bicycle)

This was what I wore for my ride on Easter...

I just finished this in time to wear it for Easter. It's my newest bicycle helmet cover with changeable flower attachment. It's all handmade. The bicycle helmet cover has an especially nice brim that keeps my face well shaded.

p.s. I'll be putting up more pics of the helmet cover (which will show it in better detail) very soon!

Teens on Cruiser Bicycles - Beautiful Santa Cruz

Two Teen Girls...




Both girls so adorable! I love what both are wearing for their sea side bicycle ride.

To start I especially like the mix. The first one has capri length leggings with lace trim, little denim skirt with shiny pastel iridescent sequins on the pockets, plus a very very practical cable fisherman's style sweater. The second one mixes lime green and vibrant red, plus notice her 'mardi gras' style beads, also so very iridescent. A cute, black knit mini and 'skinnies' finish off her look.

Both are riding great looking cruisers...

Yes indeed, quite stylish teens!

Bicycle Riding Style - Rainy Day

Bicycle Style... April - Riding Boots and Lacey Stockings!

Sunny, warm days but with a tiny bit of chill at times, so wearing lacey stockings is perfect. So are these lace up riding boots.

Notice the slashed, shredded skirt with the purple peaking through...gives a nice burst of color to the otherwise all black skirt. I also like that she is so fresh faced, not a speck of makeup or hardly any to speak of... offsets her otherwise cute, 'night-clubby' kind of look. She looked so spectacular pedaling up the street on her bicycle at 11am, and that's 11am and not 1am!

Acai Cafe and Bikes...Monterey Cruiser

New discovery in Santa Cruz...

I promise to return soon to this fabulous new cafe and bring you more photos!!

I really love the built in bike racks that seamlessly meld into the wood wall. By the way the Acai menu is out of this world, .... the acai berry will fuel you up incredibly for any bike riding you're up for.

So addicted to the smoothies here. My favorite is the 'Hero', it's a mix of berries with acai berry, black berry, blueberry. YUM!



+++++++++++++++

Free, Gratis, Libre'.... That's the sign... it's how I acquired my Monterey Cruiser. Simple, simple bicycle but an honest to goodness cruiser.

A 'beater bike' by most everyone's opinion. But how I love this bicycle!!!! 'Monterey' has a bit of a sentimental ring to it for me ...awwhhh...it's because I live next to the beautiful Monterey Bay.
So an apt name for my new 'beater' bicycle is 'Libre Monterey'.

Lovely Day...Bicycle to Bridge.... Girl Friend Talk

Quiet place to meet and talk and enjoy a peaceful afternoon. I happened upon these two girls along the path I take to get to the ocean cliff.

I liked how the shoes came off and into the stream she dangled her toes, pretty lacey stockings and all. Couldn't help but notice...



the Obama spokescard! I wonder what the other spokescard is? ...
