Firsts and Bows and Bows and Bows

First morning commute. With my new Linus Dutchie whose name is not yet determined.
Old Spot - New Bike
A favorite photo spot in Central Park, as you may recognize. 


First trip to the shop that received me and my mangled Schwinn on Friday. They approved of this bicycle and got me our first basket. This is the same Wald basket my Schwinn Cream had.

The only thing my guy at City Bicycle said about my new bike situation, was that it was dangerous for me to ride around with all that crap hanging on my handlebars. 


Dangerous like this:

First outdoors in New York City lock-up spot! This is maybe 45th Street near Times Square. I wanted to pop-in to Forever 21. The massive one.

It's so hot now that I could not stand one more ride with all my bags on the handlebars.
Misery guiding it and Misery knees scraping the bags. Glad I went with this little basket again! She's cheap! And it works well with bungees. I put 2 bags plus my shopping bag in there for my ride home tonight. 


First cute shopping shoes it carried home- the Basket & and the Bike:

Bows! 


More bows on the Linuses first ride (and my personal second) over the Williamsburg Bridge into Brooklyn.

I think I'm going to take me and my new bike on a date this weekend so we can bond.
Just me and the bike.

  6. I wear Bern brand helmets. I like them b/c I think they're the best of style + affordability. My white one is the Bern Watts Gloss White and I also have the Watts in a purple/black/white combo. My husband and another cute LadyBiker in NYC have a gray bern with a yellow stripe.
