Dress like a dandy and ride your bike.

Last Sunday in D.C. , hundreds of bikers took to the streets dressed as dandies in tweed and Victorian lace. I'm in love. To see the whole article, and many more photos like this, go here.

SO! How 'bout it Columbus, who's with me?

Well dressed man on a bike.

To my handsome Rudy,
If you grew up to look like this, I would not be mad.

Alexander Girard Bikes!

While waiting for a busted tire to be fixed, I noticed a BEAUTIFUL bicycle in our local bike shop. Upon further inspection, I realized that it was decorated with Alexander Girard's Tree of Life. I'm in love with his work, and even though I'm not much of a beach cruiser kinda girl, I fell in love.

See this and more over at electra bike company.

This almost looks like my bike.

A ride to the park.

Last weekend Rudy and I rode down to the Short North, Columbus' art district, for an event called al fresco, where lots of artists were doing their arts outside. Unfortunately, it was so hot when we got there that no one was really doing anything outside except eating ice cream. And we followed suit.
We also went over to Goodale Park, which is just to the west of the Short North. It was a perfect day for strolling around the area, and the lotus flowers on the pond were absolutely amazing. I never knew that they were that big!
