Early spring
Happy longer-days-and-crazy-weather! Some call it Spring..but not I! Here’s some photos from the 1st week of spring;
Besides the flowers, the street-vendors are coming out to bloom
Not only are the trees and entrepreneurs rearing their heads, but so are all the children awaiting the sun to shine down on their favorite pastime
crowd only one structure of the WHOLE playground!
Not only are the playgrounds getting attention…the family wheels are breaking out and seeing more turf-
Bare Legs and bikey face! 1st panda of Spring!
I am sad..regardless of the sun and new life it brings, I will miss my scarves, my sweaters, my boots, and my gloves as Summer approach :( I have been trying to ease the transition as to not upset my delicate psyche :p
So here’s some of the outfits-bike or non-I’ve been wearing lately
Necklace: Etsy
Dress/shrug: Old Navy
Leggings: Spanx

My (half)year by bike
Mothers Day 2011..the day I got Sandra Dee.
This blog is still so very new, I only started it early June! So reading all the blogs on my roll(and then some), I notice that writers like to sum up their year with one last post before the clock strikes midnight. Since I’ve only had 6 months worth of blogging(or at least trying too), I thought that I wouldn’t be able to write much….upon lookin9g at ALLL my pictures, an backtracking some posts, I’ve had quite a busy biking year!
So I joined the rest out there in the blogosphere and decided to recap the joyous(and maybe not so much) months with my Sandra Dee!
- June:
Only one post back in June, and it was an introduction to my reason for starting this blog as well as topics I wanted to cover. I was brand new to blogging..and biking! There was SO much out there I wanted to learn, and not enough hours in the day to learn it all!..o yeah and I had blue hair :)
and some great riding partners <3
- July:
I was in a pretty gnarly accident
skin clean off!
That had me down…but not for long! There was trips to the park, the market, and even to Queens to visit my Father
It was him who gave me the balls later that day to say; “Lets cross the bridge and ride Manhattan!” Thanks Daddy <3
- August:
This month was a big and busy one! We had a mini-vacay to
Connecticut and our bikes came with 
Drew and Sue..you guys made my whole vacation!
Summer Streets was SO much fun! I’m looking forward to car-free Manhattan streets next year! This year we only did 2 out of 3 Saturdays, next year its all three :) I met some of the other LadyBikers(and blogger fame-dom) of NYC those Saturdays as well!
Riding and meeting Sheryl was like meeting a celeb! Keeping up with her was like something off my bucket list!
Julie, Malaika, Me, and Kimmy bear! Not pictured; the mega-sweet Maureen!
Regg and I even got shot by famed #BIKENYC photog Dmitry @ his Summer Streets booth!
The Kid took off his training wheels this hot and sweaty month too-
This is the smile of a very proud two-wheeler :)
We even scored an invite to a Hindi wedding!
- September:
We started off September with a Birthday bike date to Riverside via the West side Greenway
This is pretty much the view for the entire ride…amazing
I got my mom to get back on a bike!..and got some pink in my hair!
Not only was that one for the record books, My outfit the day before is still one of my fav bike outfits to date!
I was such a golden goddess..I miss sunbathing!
I had the best luck too this month…I won/was given SO much bike-related goodies!
- October:
was a freakin’ HECTIC month! Started with a bang when I completed my first bike tour
Amy the Awesome mom was just one of the many riders I met that day!
My darling Husband and I made one year married this month!
He’s the coffee to my crème…
I love you so much Hubba!
We also did our trick-or-treating by bike
*A review of mine on my Detours Transit box was featured and linked on the official Detours site!*
During this half-year by bike I:
- got in a crash
- went through 3 bells and 2 mirrors
- had one tune-up and no flats
- completed my first bike tour
- crossed 3 bridges and 4 boroughs
- became a spectacle in my neighborhood, and in turn inspired some other chicks to get on their wheels
- met other awesome biking/blogging people, and learned about the cycling community of NYC
- discovered the joy and freedom of a bike again
- learned to love the awesomeness of a fat-bottomed girl on a bike…and
- STARTED THIS BLOG!
Speeding up to the present month, December one of my best blogging months, I’ve gained a few new followers and readers! I can only work at growing as a writer, cyclist, and woman in this upcoming year. There is no end to learning, and I hope to learn all I can in 2012!
Last BOOTD(bike outfit of the day) or 2011!
Thank you all for reading and I hope I continue to deliver some entertainment with a side of attitude in this new year! HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS TO YOU ALL!

A few new blogs and bloggers I follow :)
I have been pretty active on Twitter lately. I’ve seem to got the hang of updating and harsh-tagging and all those mentions..FINALLY! I know many who are against the very idea of Twitter, and I was too at first. But today is a great reason to love it; I have been introduced to 3 new blogger gals, got a free week at Lucille Roberts gym, and won some cool-ass bag from Yoek Fashion over in the Netherlands! Regardless of what people say, Twitter is proving to be quite beneficial
These blogs are not relatively bike related, but I support all kinds of things here, my well run pretty damn deep y’all!!First up is Amy the Awesome Mom who blogs about raising special needs children and life as a Supermom, all while biking, working out at the gym, stayin on track with her Weight Watchers program, and dealing with all the bs in between! Is it no wonder people call her Supermom? ON TOP OF THAT!!..she also blogs on her weight loss and fitness!! DANG GIRL!
Amy and her troop!
Next up is a ultra-stylish, fashion-blogging lovely plus babe named Olivia! She is a chic Aussie who blogs over at WaitUntilTheSunset. By day a Nurse, by a night a fierce “fatshionista” painting the town red in her awesome + sized wardrobe! Her message is refreshing and so is her spirit, I am very happy to have stumbled upon her blog!
Go’on with ya bad self babes ;D
Last but not least is Ms Kitty Babble. An author who is working on a totally edgy(and so up my alley) called Confessions of a Serial Masturbator. Which will be up for download on the Kindle network soon! I unfortunately have to wait for the paper back since I’m old school (wah)
Thanks for the support girls! Means a lot!
Bloggers unite!
