Child Porter in the South End

Wednesday, February 15th, 2012

This bike is often parked outside Mike’s City Diner. I have not seen this kind of child-porting tricycle before and so I carefully noted its make on a piece of paper that did not move internationally with me.

The format of the stroller reminds me a lot of the Quinny strollers which have exchangeable seats in a frame designed to accomodate a child’s growth. I have no idea if this tricycle does the same, certainly it’s for sale so it must be eventually outgrown! Chi

Little Green Shopper

I saw this shopper of ambiguous vintage in the South End and thought of you Velouria: Green frame, cream tires… It would be cuter if the fenders were green too, don’t you think?  ðŸ™‚

Freebie Friday

Friday, September 16th, 2011

Wow, it has been a LONG time since this blog has had a freebie friday.

In hopes of making up for all that lost time, I would like to offer someone in the Boston area my custom-reinforced Cyclist-themed Bike Rack Wine Box.

For information about the box please see this post with the details and this post with more photos. This box will work best for you if you have a Blackburn rear rack, but should be customizable for another rack. Email me to discuss picking this up for free. *CLAIMED*

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Wooden Rack Box

Awesome rack-mounted box spotted on Mass Ave. I peeked inside it and the owner had a bike helmet in there at the time of these photos. I particularly liked the wide leather straps, this was clearly a DIY project.

Whoa there stranger!

I am sure there is a treasure trove out there on the internet, but a quick Google search did not turn it up…

So this morning I left Future Cyclist with his nanny and got on my bike to head to work. Very first stoplight a cyclist pulls in about 2 cm from my shoulder. YIKES! I startled, and all I could think to say was “oh, hi.” Later he passed me at the next red light, and then I very loudly said “On your left!” as I dropped him on the bridge.

Always too late at this sort of thing I thought later that what I wished I’d said was something more like “I don’t usually let a man get this close to me ’till I’ve got his phone number” or something like that.

Witty people, or people with better Googling skills, what could we be saying in these situations, something that indicates no-harm-done but next time say something!?

Coolest thing I saw today

Wednesday, August 31st, 2011

Someone was moving their apartment via pedicab! Lots of boxes labeled “kitchen” and stuff. No photos though, my hands were full.

Stay safe out there, lots of inexperienced drivers at the wheel of very large moving trucks.
