bicycle fever.
have y’all noticed the bicycle fever taking place these days? everywhere i look, there’s some really sweet new bike designs popping up! not to mention the always fabulous 2009 tour de france is on! it’s a pretty great thing – good for the environment, and good for our fitness and health. I fixed up an old, vintage motobecane bicycle and i just love it. i even added cherries to my basket (my friends and i like to call it ‘pimping your ride’). amsterdam is a wonderful example of a city that gets around by bike and i was lucky enough to spend 48 hours there a few years back. even on cobbled stone roads, mums ride around with groceries in their baskets, and one or two children in tow. I was so impressed! here’s a glimpse of some shots i took there, and some great new bikes i’ve been seeing around the web, including mrs. french’s lovely bicycle round-up here on sfgirlbybay. happy cycling!
my bike – i’ve “pimped my ride”!
the sweetpea bicycle. so sweet, indeed!
I love this city road bike from handsome cycles.
Simple City bike from gary fisher (via apartment therapy newsletter).
you know how I feel about this post…love. oh and I must say, I am completely jealous of the ‘pimping’ you have done…xo t
I love my red/black bike..but I’m thinking to dye it pink!
Heh, the only problem with the proliferation of bikes in Amsterdam (and the Netherlands in general) is that bike riders tend to be quite aggressive. Walk with care!
As a Dane I must add that Copenhagen is another great city of bicycling! :) Just have a look at this fabulous site: http://www.copenhagencyclechic.com/
Great timing! I just got done surfing craigslist for the perfect bike! :)
Nothing better than a nice day and a nice ride to push around on. Thank you for sharing.

If you lover your bike and love great art this is a great combination. And TaLiah will even paint your bike for you for a nice fee.
Cheers.
Nice pimp job, even without the sound system, neon lights & shoe rack. (Okay, I admit to watching the show a couple of times.. with my teenage daughter, of course.)
I want that sweet pea bike sooooooo badly!
Love them cherries!
