"Boston Wants It"

May 15th, 2009

The Boston Bikes party this morning was a happening scene, and I was overwhelmed by all the people, all the bikes, all the stalls of bike goodness. It was more bike love than I could take in at one moment. Thank you all!

I don’t know if you can tell, but she’s sporting fishnets. I was drooling on her basket, it was terribly embarrassing. And yes, I think the banner is right – Boston wants it.

dapper gentleman cyclistHere’s my best-dressed gentleman. He’s wearing the hat that all the young men are sporting now. In his case I think the hat is as old as these young men who are co-opting the look. Anyway, I think he looks great and I’m glad he’s out on a bike.

What a great morning! Happy Bike Week!
