Don´t stop til you get enough


I wonder how long I will be able and willing to ride my bike this Fall/ Winter. I said to myself that I definitely won´t stop riding before middle of November. I don´t like public traffic, and especially not when it´s cold and people are sneezing in the train, looking all grumpy and frustrated. I rather shiver on my bike than waiting for the train with wet shoes. But that´s what I do say NOW. Let´s start the countdown...How long will you ride your bike to work this year?

Parking slot

Soon on the streets of CPH for you: the minimalistic bicycle stand from Sören Sögreni. Guess they are supposed to be super-practical-hyper-modular-clean-straight. But if you´re trying to peel the stand out of the street in the middle of the night drunk, in the rain, breaking a fingernail - don´t tell me! Tell Mr. Sögreni.

Confessions of a shop-a-heelic



So i got the Vagabond wedges, despite the fact that they were non-vegan, they were just too pretty. And I can walk really easy in them and bounce around, being 8 cm higher. But there´s one thing that´s funny. I have to confess that my bike is a liiittle bit too big for me. Like, way to big. Like, it´s actually for really tall men with baboon arms. But I still pedal around merrily on the ball of my feet and I got used to it so much, it doesn´t bother me anymore. But now, in these heels, I am faced with a new challenge - i am suddenly tall enough for my bike! And now I feel muscles that having been used EVER in the 5 years I got my Nishiki! What about those ugly MBT sneakers that work your ass? Forget them. Get a nice pair of wegdes and - push the pedal.

Stella can read your mind



Or at least she can read mine. Behold! Behold the miracle that is the new Stella McCartney for Adidas collection SS 2010. She added CYCLING to the already über-pretty range of sport clothes. My prayers have been answered! (Or have I prayed that loud?). Anyway, I wonder how many traffic jams you might cause in that all-over bib aka The Sexy Accident Enhancer. But when the Lord, err the Lady McCartney wants you to ride hot, you better do so!

I had to rub my eyes with my winter-mitted hands (can you say that? winter-mitted? hmm.) when I saw the secret love of my life, streetstyle blogger and model Hanneli Mustaparty on a street bike. Heart skip! As you can see, she is wearing the Acne Atacoma hype hype hurrah platforms and they were killing her feet, so she was offered this bike and managed the feat to get on the bike in a LEATHER MINI SKIRT. But of course she can do that. She has supermodel power!

Beverly Downhills


I got it! I mean, Tori Spelling got it! I always wondered about the far, far away day when I would have children - and a problem. A child seat on the back of the bike...not recommended. Each time I would swing my leg over the saddle, kid would get a full roundhouse-kick, Chuck "Mommy" Norris-style. And in the front of the handles, there are the braking cables which I do desperately need every now and then. So where to put a childrens seat? BEHIND the handles! All I need to know now is where to get one of these clever seats out of Hollywood. Should be easy. Dammit!
