Simple Pleasures

True! Ive really been enjoying my cycling lately! Really need to be too - if i have any hope of getting up those french mountains!

Wedding Wednesday - Bikes!

You know it!

On Yer Bike!

The bike fetish continues....

(no thanks to my nightly tour de france watching) Allow me to chronicle the past month of my bike obsession....

Thanks to the Design Files for alerting me to this!

You can build your won 'vintage' bicycle & it is seriously well priced at around $560 including delivery!

Meanwhile im still watching this beauty on ebay

From Sydney Vintage Bikes

SO perfect for just going up to the shops & getting...you know...stuff!

After i just showed him the picture for the 18th time the other half just asked "so will it live in the garage with my bikes??" (Yes, with his 4 bikes!) and i said "no! in the living room!"...and he says you just want it to look at like a piece of art...um...yeah! so?!

And the latest in the chronicles of 'i want a vintage bike';

Sydney's Clarence Street Cyclery have just opened a womens only store & has some 'urban' bikes made by 'serious' bike maker Gary Fischer! Check em out - pretty special!

Gary Fischer Ladies Simple City 3 $899 (just needs a basket!)

And the mens (not so pretty) version 

Gary Fischer Simple City 8 $1299

last but not least.  Melbourne company The Humble Vintage Bike Co. where you can hire vintage bikes & do tours of the city! Cute idea!
