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!

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!

1000+ page views…THANKS LURKERS!

 

I did not start this blog with the intention of gathering readers…funny as that sounds. This is an outlet of sorts. I enjoy taking pictures and riding my bike-both at the same time-and thought a blog would only be a smart move on my end. I am the creative type, so this isn’t my only way of putting my mojo to work. Maybe one day I’ll take a turn on that road and do a few posts on what I do with the rest of my time. But not yet…no. Not yet…this is all your getting for now

All the exposure of my still so new blog is due to some awesome(and fellow biking)lady bloggers, which I will now thank!

The super inspiring, super cool Sheryl aka Bitchcakes is pretty much an everyday celeb in the biking/blogging community over here in greater NYC. I had the pleasure back in August on the last day on Summer Streets to meet and ride with her, and KEPT UP! See if you are a regular reader, this chick fucking rides dude, and is a fitness guru so I felt a tad proud on that day *teehee* She was awesome enough to link me and my blog on her most recent blog post. Thanks Ms Sheryl!

Another Source of this sudden burst of daily page views is all thanks too Barb Chamberlain who had the ingenious idea of getting oh so many great bloggers on one list for our convenience! Sweet of her eh? Thanks for the inclusion B.!

Many other great girls such as Maureen, Karen, Kimmy bear and Julesky are also included because they also read, blog, and bike themselves. MANY THANKS CHICAS!

So as I reluctantly say "Thanks” to all the page views, followers, lurkers, voyeurs, skimmers and sneaks..I hope your enjoying the tales being told. Either way, its no skin off my nose, I’ll keep posting away!

peace and chicken grease
