what a tease

{beautiful bianchi milano}

this hot ride has been locked up in front of my office all day

so pretty!! the leather seat, the celeste green mudguards, the arched top tube

if only it were mine....

sadly my little yellow bike was stolen from me several weeks ago,

but i think this beauty could help me recover from my loss

on my wishlist: a new bike shelf

look look LOOK at the goody jamie has turned me onto today:

just LOOK at this

beyond perfect for my new yellow bicycle

for when we have a bigger house

with room to hang things on walls

...like bicycles

or maybe we can just hang it in krishnan's room for now?

he seems to have ample space and an affinity for shelves

en route: (official) bike to work day

{jamie, with bike}

lovely to see the increase of bikers joining me on the morning commute. way to go, DC. hopefully you guys stuck it to the Metro this morning, gave your car a break, and rode your stylin' two-wheeler to the office today in support of the District's Bike to Work Day. for those who officially signed up for the day's events - enjoy the free food, drinks, prizes, and mmmhmmm - tshirts! if you miss the shirt today, and want in on some other bikey gear (/news, sites, general excitement) check out:
