I also love to read about the super nice gals from SF and their adventures, and reading about Simply Bike pregnancy, she is awsome! And for learning, of course I can't miss Lovely Bicycle and Eco Velo, so instructional and didactic! And for fun, my favorite new blog from Madrid: I love Bicis, a blog sponsored by the newspaper El Pais.<br /><br />I keep commuting by bicycle to work daily and attacking some mean hills on the road bike on the weekends. Oh, and I finally named the Bianchi Brava, I decided to call her La Pirata in honor of Mario Pantani, one of my favorites riders ever. And maybe, just maybe La Pirata gets inspired by her name and together we climb the hills faster!<br /><br />As this weekend was a 3 day weekend one, I got around to get more things done and found the time to go on a ride with my friend Christa from Bike by the Sea. We rode lazily to brunch and we had time to catch up. She is already planning the Santa Barbara 2011 bicycle fashion show <a href="http://www.bicibonita.org/index/home.html">"bici bonita"</a> so if you plan to be around Santa Barbara on May 5, please join us for the festivities, it should be very fun!<br /><br />Pic below is her with her new ride: a black Bowery Lane single speed, a mega cool bike!<br /><br /><a

I was about half way and I saw a pothole in the road and automatically I lifted my rear in order to avoid the impact of the bumbpy road...the funny part is that I was not on my bike and lifting my behind wasn't necessary as I was driving an official vehicle! I immediately realized how silly my reaction was and I giggled all the way left....Is cycling becoming second nature?

They simply don’t know (or overlook) these facts:</p> <ul><li> Bicycling and walking are essential to our communities.<br /> </li><li> Federal transportation investments that support these activities boost our economy, help individuals and government agencies save money, and directly address key societal challenges such as obesity and road congestion.<br /> </li><li> Biking and walking currently total 12% of the trips that Americans make but cost just 1.5% of our transportation spending. That’s the type of cost effectiveness we need now!</li></ul><p> We’ve gathered lots of statistics and case studies that back these key points.

Last year I went to Spain very early in December and pretty much missed seeing all the lights up in my neighborhood. It has been pretty magical to ride with La Relampago after work and see the fun decorations. And, only 4 days to be Guada and eat turron!!!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Me gusta pasar con la bici por calles ilumindadas con luces de navidad, ya que las anteriores navidades, me fui a casa a principios de diciembre y aun no habian puesto aqui las luces. </span>Es un poco magico salir del trabajo y subirme en La Relampago y ver la decoraciones. Ya solo quedan 4 dias para estar en Guada y comer turron!SPACE RIDER GAL ~**~ LA CHICA DE LA SPACE RIDERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14902187094625981762noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750002316148158076.post-47663300292901759472010-12-16T18:00:00.000-08:002010-12-16T18:05:20.194-08:00New shoes ~**~ Zapatos nuevos<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHCqPTfRvZFkYULdsjTTrM6CEZIbVS3jbDi-IDnx2YjUTuQV6pzlXwtkEUwWo4yKX50I3euJmkGNJtDfOaumEJKRsko5ermJ1A0MNEUssArJj4qAJ_JjAWTR1AamVdrZ2T_gKgBuLC5gM/s1600/IMG_2083.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHCqPTfRvZFkYULdsjTTrM6CEZIbVS3jbDi-IDnx2YjUTuQV6pzlXwtkEUwWo4yKX50I3euJmkGNJtDfOaumEJKRsko5ermJ1A0MNEUssArJj4qAJ_JjAWTR1AamVdrZ2T_gKgBuLC5gM/s400/IMG_2083.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5551466275549494450" border="0" /></a><br />Cycle chic moment of the day: riding to worth this morning with my new cheetah skin penny loafers!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Momento Cycle Chic del dia: De caminito al trabajo con mis mocasines nuevos de charol de piel de pantera!</span>SPACE RIDER GAL ~**~ LA CHICA DE LA SPACE RIDERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14902187094625981762noreply@blogger.com1
