I wish I was in Paris Last Night - Oh, la, la Bicycle - Rykiel- H&M -

Sonia Rykiel and H&M gave Paris a night to remember according to one of my fav fashion bloggers sites. Bicycles and superb Fashion Extravaganza! Combine high fashion and bicycles and Paris and I just might die.

Red Cruiser Bicycle - Downtown

December, winter light. This photo was taken just before we got our current cold snap. It was still 'just wear a sweater and you'll be fine' kind of day.
What I like is the festive touches of red in her dress ( her red bicycle!) and the mixed patterns. Seems to me as the Holidays approach it gets easier and easier to wear head to toe red and green... just be like an elf, some mistle toe, or a brightly sprinkled sugar cookie.

Beauty and the Bicycle - First Screenings

Thanks and tip of the bicycle helmet to LondonCyclist for helping to highlight this little gem!

A while back I discovered the Beauty and the Bike site with these wonderful documentry short videos. Now it's show time!! A new and longer 55 minute version will be premiered and featured....

"The first screenings will Thursday 3rd December, in Kino Atlantis, Bremen, Germany; and Wednesday 9th December in Darlington Arts centre. Contact dmg@bikebeauty.org for ticket details. There’s also to be book and an accompanying DVD."

Etsy Bicycle Gift Guide Revisited

Just checked my last year's Holiday Etsy Bicycle themed Gift Guide Part I and Part II. Item after item sold out! Some bicycle gift lovers and givers really gave some support to Etsy artisans and crafters!

I considered doing another bicycle themed gift guide. Voila...Here is a link you can use to start your own bicycle themed search. There are 5,468 items on Etsy to peruse. Last year when I made my list there were around 600 items to look through. Wow... 5,468 bicycle gift items on Etsy this year!!! AMAZING...

Don't you love how things 'catch on'. A good idea always get imitated and what better and sincere compliment can there be!

Surfer on a Bike with Surf Board -- Coming Soon in 3D

Surfer on Bike with Surf Board

Silly, now of course you can only see it in it's 2D version.

The above photo is my first 3D photo taken just yesterday. New camera excitement!
I'm loving learning how to use this new camera (finepix real3D). As far as I know it is not yet really being offered here in the US. I'm happy I get to borrow it from time to time because of the start up company I'm involved in. To appreciate the photo in 3D, there's viewing screen to see it on. Or if the shot turns out especially nice I can get a 3D print made. Should be fun playing with this camera ;)

Historically speaking some of my favorite surfers on bikes with surf boards...
