Style Derby - A Bicycle Fashion Show - MN Fashion Week

Yes, these fashions have been entirely designed with the stylish bicyclist in mind. Chic Cycle Wear from Minneapolis. Hurray. I'm impressed. Top of my list for USA Fashion Cycle Chic Shows.

If your interest has been piqued - I was able to find a detailed write up and review for the show here- I'm offering you this since I wasn't able to be at this show. Also see Eric Petersen - lots more photos from the show.

Congrats to the fashion show organizers - Carly Schoen with Darci Alexis !!

Winnipeg Tweed Ride - Bicycle & 1919 Train Photos

A 1919 Train - the Winnipeg Tweed Ride! My, these photos capture my heart. The Lass (1st photo) looks like she just stepped off that 1919 train and is about to journey on with her bicycle...And her friends (2nd photo) have come to meet her. *Note to myself : it's so easy to ignite my imagination looking at Tweed Ride Photos..

All and All the Winnipeg Tweed Ride looks to have been a really fine ride!

Tweed Ride Curitiba - Really Wonderful Photos

In addition to yesterday's video from the Tweed Ride in Curitiba Brazil, today I share with you some photos. I must say the photos from the ride are just practically unbelievable because I am whisked away back in time! - I also included that last photo which was not from the ride but a style shot especially created and meant to offer Tweed Ride fashion inspiration. I'm inspired.

The ride was hosted by FixaCWB and Curitiba Cycle Chic.

Tweed Ride Video - Curitiba Brazil

Tweed Bicycle Ride - Curitiba Brazil! Oooh, swoon...I spy some very handsome devils in Tweed!
This video is a treasure, even if it's a bit on the long side - as in almost six minutes. All the more viewing time of those handsome devils.
The ride was just this month - September 18th

End Of Summer Bicycle Picnic

Today being the first day of Fall - there's still time for Indian Summer bicycle picnics here in California.

It's not Indian Summer everyday... of course there are foggy days too. You can see the fog creeping in this series of photos. See how I started out in a halter dress. Later on I was so glad to have my little red sweater top to slip on when the fog rolled in!

Happy to get around at last to sharing a bicycle picnic day with you. Most everything you see in these photos is vintage and thrifted. Dress, shoes, picnic accoutrement and baskets. The wine crates on my bicycle are DIY. My bicycle is this one, only I repainted it flat mat black - which is kind of a classic for cruiser bicycles here at the beach.

Vintage Bicycle Photo- Rita's Mom

This vintage photo of a beautiful girl and her bicycle has to be one of my very favorites. So chic.

"the love of cycling seems hereditary. this photo is from the mid 1950s"

The photo is of Rita's Mom. That's her quote above too- Rita love bicycles as well. She is reader of this blog and thought I might like to share her photo with all of you. So happy to have received this photo in my email inbox. Thanks Rita!
