Bike Bells for Bike Belles – My Outfit of the Day

This outfit of the day was heavily influenced by my research on fashion-week cycle-chic. Turns out that one of the commandments of editor style is to wear your coat as a cape. But why settle for a faux cape when you have a real one?

So I dressed up as my version of a cycling super-hero. Aerodynamic navy blue Disco Pants topped off with a courageous gold jacket. The grey cape is vintage Pendleton. And I picked my highlighter orange tank to complement my new bike bell. I highly recommend getting a bike bell for commuter riding.

Pamela of I Like My Bike generously sent me two cute bike bells to review. Continue reading →

Bike to Work Uniform for San Francisco’s Constant & Unchanging Slightly Chilly Weather

I’m heading out of the city this weekend and I’m most excited about the chance to bare my shoulders to the warm sun, in PORTLAND of all places.

Here in San Francisco, it’s a nearly constant 63° F year round. Thus I’ve managed to perfect my cycle chic uniform that gets me to work, on a bike and in style.

Gold jacket for extra high visibility, gnome sane?

I like to think that the gold biker cyclist jacket makes me eye-catchingly shiny to motorists, but really it just looks cool. Skinny jeans are not chosen for any ‘hipness’ factor however, they just save me the trouble of rolling up my trousers.

And if you look closely, you’ll note the bamboo bike in the background. This one is by Calfee, but I made my own, with a boot friendly, greaseless carbon belt drive at San Francisco’s Bamboo Bike Studio.
