PUBLIC bikes rock my world

I am selling my beloved road bike.

Earlier this year I bought a new bike, but since I had to move and could not take two bike with me, I sold the white bike to a friend.

I did all the hard work in finding the right bike for me earlier this year, this time around wont be as hard. I already know the bike I want and they come in NEW pretty colors. The reason why I did not buy A PUBLIC bike when shopping for the white one was because I had to carry my bike up a flight of stairs and the PUBLIC bikes were a little to heavy. The funny thing is... after adding a rack and a basket to the white bike, that bike was heavy.

I used to work across the street from the PUBLIC bike shop and I would go over on my lunch break and check out all the pretty bikes. I loved going in there because everyone there is so friendly and the bike are so pretty.

I want to get the V7 because it has 7 speeds and it is good for going hill. Look at the pretty colors it come in-- not sure what color I want.

One thing that I LOVE about these bikes is they come from my city.

If you live in the San Francisco area and are looking for a new bike, check out the  PUBLIC Holiday Year-End Sale & Party on Saturday, Dec. 17 from 11am-6pm at 123 South Park.

I can't wait to be riding around San Francisco on one of these babies!

Bike Style

My friend lives in the most amazing building and I love having photo shoots here. On saturday he helped take photos of me and bike Coco.

I gave my bike a little bath on Friday night and add some flowers to her basket. I think she is looking super cute for Summer.

Outtakes

I was planning on taking these photos outside against this wall, but by the time we got it together it was way to bright outside. We decided to take the photo shoot indoors.

Here is an AMAZING playlist to listen to while you are ridding your bike. My lovely friend Andrea from Andrea Inspired made this playlist and she has a lot more GREAT playlists that you should check out.

Please do not ride your bike with headphones on because it is not safe. Use your iPod and some speakers to play music while ridding your bike. You could even listen the old school way by burning a CD and playing it on a boombox.

And I am back!

(Taken on the ferry on my morning commute)

Wow! I have been in a blogging rut and I have never been in one this long. I have also been extremely busy at work and by the time I get home I am super tired and the next thing I know I am a sleep on the couch.  

I got my camera charged and I still have not been taking photos. I plan on spending time with my camera and blog this week.

I will be back later tonight with a better post :)
