via electra blog

Julia is riding on a cruiser bicycle. The scene of course is from the movie Eat, Pray, Love.
Ah, how lovely riding your bicycle down a county road and past fields of green...
Hope I enjoy the movie, I plan on seeing it over this weekend.
Hey, everyone have a great weekend too!

Vintage Bicycle and Three Big Pine Cones

Three very large pine cones - Vintage Bicycle. In a little Northern California village town I've come to adore.

Going Going Gone -- Summer Vacation!

Yeah! Off now for several weeks vacation!
I do have several posts planned for you in my absence...

My posts will go ahead and automatically publish themselves according to pre-planned schedule dates I've set up for them. What I wanted to let you know is that I won't be able to personally attend to any comments you may want to leave. So comments won't be showing up until I return. Please feel free to leave comments anyway :)

I'm so excited, while I won't have access to much of any online time to speak of - I do have a new iPhone 4G to play with, so that should be fun :D

Hope you're having a fantastic summer!!!

DIY - Bicycle Tool Kit Carrier

I found this fake Burberry Tartan Plaid purse at the Thrift Store on half off day so really just $2.00. It fit perfectly on the back of my bicycle. Now I have something to keep my (travel/emergency) bicycle tools in!

Now off you go and happy hunting and finding your own bag! Hint: small and cylindrical, those that are water resistant like this one are definitely fabulous.

Here's a special thanks to Garry who was so helpful getting the photos to me for the Sydney and Canberra Tweed Rides. He also tells me the lovely lady in the all in purple outfit (second to the last photo) was in a minor collision with a car on her way to the Tweed Ride, but still managed to look amazing!!

Otherwise the Sacramento Ride was canceled due to the very high summer heat temperatures. Ah, and I looked for photos of Minneapolis's Black & White Ride, but alas couldn't find any to share with you.

The rest of July and then August seems to be devoid of any Tweed, SearSucker or Linen Rides. However Fall will surely bring more Tweed Rides... in September there is a Winnipeg Tweed Ride planned!

July Bicycle

Hope everyone (USA) had a wonderful and safe 4th of July!
Just now returning, so back to blogging and catching up... See you soon!
