its caption: "may the journey be merry and bright!"

so true.

BIKE IT: freewheelin'

a modern day version of the horse + buggy, "freewheelin' farm" is such a cool - and forward thinking - concept for a CSA (a.k.a, community supported agriculture). 

three farmers have banded together to create this CSA where members (folks like you and me) purchase a "share" of the farm and share its harvest. food is transported by bike + trailer to reduce petroleum consumption too!

in their own words, "freewheelin’ farm is at the forefront of the growing movement towards community renewal, addressing issues of environment, health, and social equity in a simple and delicious way!"

seasonal goodness in oh-so-many respects....hopefully other farms + communities across america will develop similar programs. would be bountiful and beneficial for all.

p.s. if you live in northern california, check out the "4th annual freewheelin' farm art show" on october 24 that features local artists and fun food + music. shucks, i hate to miss it!

BIKE IT: "bike to work day" today

strap on your helmet for tomorrow's "bike to work day."

then, reward yourself with one of these super fabulous screen prints on etsy from brooklyn's bicycle paintings. 

(be forewarned: there are so many classic rides, it's hard to choose just one!)

you've also got to check out the artist taliah lempert's studio. in looking at her work, it's clear that each bike she paints tells its own story in a graphically poignant way. (did i mention each is also affordable?) 

would make a great addition to your home and likely inspire you to pedal it home.

BIKE IT: really rowley

cynthia rowley's limited-edition beach cruiser ($1200). really fun.

DIY: 

create one yourself by buying a used cruiser on craigslist + then spruce it up on your own with some rust resistant spray paint + groovy decals. surfer chic in the city!
