It’s Bike Week across the country. Who’s excited? I’m excited!

There are lots of fun activities in MA, certainly something for everyone. I am having a hard time choosing which I’ll attend but my general list is as follows: I know the pancake breakfast at Broadway Bikes is not to be missed – see you there tomorrow. Tomorrow night (while I have class) there will be a film screening that I wish I could attend.

Thursday has the Back Bay breakfast I’ll surely stop in for, and then later in the day will be the Cambridge Bicycle Shop open house. A little birdie told me they’re going to have Toscanini’s so I think I’d better stop in there. I wonder if I can enter my bike for their “Best Commuter Bike Contest”? I finally got a silver rack for the rear (very excited!!!) but it’s en route I don’t think I’ll have a matching set in time. Oh well. There are lots of other things going on there, it looks worth checking out.

The Swiss Consulate invites you to breakfast on Friday. I already have plans with our local government (Mayor Menino’s Bike Week Festival) but if I were coming from anywhere near the Consulate in Cambridge I’d stop by to see the Swiss too.

How about you? What are you doing for bike week?

I’ve been blogging for a while, and start to see old friends again. She’s always looking so pretty! I was slow to get their shot so it’s hard to see her sheer brown stockings, tall brown suede boots, and well-cut jacket. I’m also unclear whether or not she has a hand in raising that next generation of chic cyclist on the next bike over – whether daily or just in passing she is certainly setting a good example!

I’ve never seen a basket mounted the way this gentleman has done. The rack supports it nicely.

I may modify and use this idea. Send in photos if you do too!

Hmm, they have new bike racks over near Cambridge Brewing Company. Must have been installed in the last week.

I think I like them. Nice look. They seem protective but it could be tough to get in there if there are lots of bikes. Of course that’s true of the old designs too. Not sure how space-efficient they are. What do you think?

I saw the cab turn right on red without even looking for this handsome gentleman. In this photo you can see that they’re now “having words”.

Our cyclist then went on his handsome way, his green bag matching the green frame of his green transportation.

Happy May Day!

Xue was the first to respond to the free Friday bike flowers, and here they are on her bike. I think they look better on hers than mine! Helps that her bike is so cute.

It adds a nice touch of springtime, and when she’s ready to move on the flowers come right off.

This photo of the bikes in the grass may be my favorite, just because it reminds me of lounging on a warm summer day. Happy bikes, happy day.

Jennifer never sent me her address for the second set. How can I give these to someone else, fairly?
