Farmer's Markets, Foodie Bicycle Tours

Please note the new additions on the sidebar. Both are bicycle tour and food related.

Eat Real Festival & East Bay Bicycle Coalition-- Oakland CA

"Pedal along Oakland's waterfront and meet local culinary artisans, learn their specialties and taste their creations. Join us as we meet local purveyors of sustainable chocolate, tea, beer and wine."

Cycletourist Rallye Over Country Roads North of Boulder Colorado

"GASTRONOMIC FEEDS Created by some of the nation’s most celebrated local chefs, the “feed” stations along the course of L’Eroica Boulder are gastronomic. Energy bars and gels are replaced with vintage refreshments of our ancestral hero’s of the road: aged cheeses, antipasto, craft breads, fruits, traditional hams and Italian wines that freely flow. "

What is the world coming too? Good Food -- combo bicycle social event ride? I am so inspired!

Do you remember this post from last year? I remember being so thrilled to learn such type rides existed. Well it's time again for the Tour d' Organics in Sebastopol, CA and also now in Portland, OR.

This being a food related bicycle post, then I feel it apropos to tell you I'm off to see Julie & Julia sometime this weekend!

I admired her carry bike trailer. She said some people in San Luis Obispo make them. What an excellent design, when I get myself a bicycle trailer this is what I want. I will do some research and track down the designers/makers.

Now check out the paint job...

'Look at that paint job' I remarked to her, 'it's so multi- layered'.... It reminded me of a another bicycle I saw last Indian summer.

"Well, I was pregnant when I first got this bike. Now my son is 21."

How Awesome.

Delmarr started building this bike when he lived in Hawaii way back in '96. He took his time making it super (Skittles) sweet.

Delmar is a born and bred Santa Cruzan and is now living back here in SC. He wants to build more bikes, a possible career dream...he wonders if it's realizable? He is starting a new bike for his little sister. Anyone interested in having Delmarr build them a bike? Just let me now, 'cause I know how to be in touch with him.

Sometimes one shot just won't do it. It won't give you the entire story. So here you have it. The close up with nice detail, plus a shot with feet (vans) included. Nice bike too.
