I came across Threepenny Bikes very randomly, but now I'm dreaming of my own custom bamboo bike. Look at those beauties! Hand crafted from high quality materials and truly one of a kind.

"Each piece of bamboo is unique and must be individually selected and shaped for the frame. This process of selection and hand working is a key reason bamboo bikes are a craft and not an industry." -Threepenny Bikes

::bicycle adventure::

The simple pleasures of a bicycle adventure with my guy. We ventured to Olde Towne, jumped on the ferry and pedaled to The Naro for an afternoon showing of Moonrise Kingdom. A perfect little Sunday if you ask me.

::looking for something to do?::

Now that it's getting warmer, it's time to go bike riding. Last weekend Jay and I rode bikes through Seashore State Park, stopped at an epic yard sale, traveled down to the Oceanfront for lunch and then back home...about 20 miles. You never know what you'll come across on the streets and in the woods! We have a city park close by too that's on the Elizabeth River. It'll be the perfect place for many picnic dinners to watch the sunset.

::how rad is this?::

Stopped dead in my tracks when I stumbled upon this little guy. I love duel purpose home decor. This bike shelf by Mission Bicycle Company is too cool. And when you're spending a small fortune on a pretty bicycle, you might as well showcase it.

thanks, fernando, for sharing.

::2 pedals::

The only thing as cool as 6 petals is 2 pedals.

For all of those who are stuck in the snow storms, some warm thoughts of the sea and sunshine...

Have a lovely {and hopefully relaxing} weekend.

Everyone needs a good bicycle. It's eco-friendly, extra exercise, and a part of your style. I made a goal to start riding my bike to work a couple days a week. Which is difficult given that the Florida sunshine terrorizes us this time of year ("summer" lasts 3 seasons). Kendi from Kendi Everyday even took her lovely two-wheeler for a spin. I've also been following London Cycle Chic, which is where I stumbled upon The Bicycle Muse. I can't wait to put this lovely item on my beach cruiser to carry my laptop to work. They have so many cute accessories to spice up your bike (don't deny the slight reference to the Spice Girls there-- spice up your life!). My brother has a slight obsession with bikes, so I blame him for my slight obsession.
