When I get out of the city and see the skyline, it's still unbelievable that we live/sleep/work in that jumble of buildings. It's very good for your soul to get out of the city sometimes. Central Park gives you a breather, but I understand how you would get very angry & mean if you could never get away from this.
I rode my bicycle all week! - 5 days of round-trip work commuting from the UES to Times Square/Garment Dist. Friday I was feeling the need for comfort.
Summer of cheap! $4.50 red fake keds and an Ezekiel (skater brand) dress that I got on super-clerance a while back.
Helmet in hand! I didn't go anywhere special after work this week really. Pretty much straight home or just a tiny stop, but an awesome stop happened when I spied something PINK in the garbage on East 56th Street. Finding neat stuff in the garbage is strangely fulfilling.
The guys digging around in the garbage were very encouraging and offered to help me tie it on. I thanked them, and told them I wanted to figure it out for myself. My bungee cords are life savers. I got several packs at the Dollar Store in Arkansas. Little Short ones, I'd say about 10" & 12" long. That's all I need. -So far.
When I've been in a pinch previously, I used ribbon to tie things on to my bicycle. It's not the sturdiest method, but it's fine for 3 miles or so. I've also got a huge shopping bag on there. The straps are just tied around my rear rack.
This is what I call a pedi-cab traffic jam. These ladies were cute and scared for their life riding in this rickshaw. They were like nervously laughing as he was jamming through the cars.
I was slowly behind them with my heavy bag of sweater samples. I was a wide-load too!
I hope one of my friends with a tiny dog wants this animal carrier b/c my baby-girl is way too big.
I just couldn't leave it in the trash!
It's going to be perfect when it's cleaned up.
