The place: Paris, of course. Stylist Catherine Baba brings her iconic and daring(!) style to cycling. Très chic!

Bikes Around the Globe #2

The older gentlemen in this picture is helping a youth repair his bike. Now that's a valentine.

All of these lovely photos are from The House In Marrakesh--pink backdrops (or pink scarves) and bikes are featured for an especially romantic look at bikes in far-flung lands.

Skirtguard Installation #2

I haven't been in the mood to blog for a few weeks, but I wanted to share the success of skirtguard installation #2. Opening the package I was incredulous. I didn't see how these skirtguards were going to stay put. Thank goodness Michael included a bunch of zip ties in the box! Actually, the skirtguards stayed put long enough for me to put the zip ties around the tabs the stretched over the fenders; it was an easy installation. The zip ties gave me a sense of security when I went on my test run. My skirtguards didn't move (!) and they didn't rub against my tires or rattle at all. Initially I wasn't sure about the black against the brown, but I think they look pretty spiffy on my bike.
