Grey Cold Rain

I'm liking the idea of white outerwear for being visible but not flashy, particularly paired with black. It might be even better in the summer when the world is more green, less grey...

In this photo you can see the challenge of twin cities on a river: who is responsible for the bridges? I don't know, but I do know that the sidewalks on the Longfellow Bridge are not shoveled until at least 2 weeks after any major snowfall. Seems the street cleaners don't pass too often in the bike lanes either.

Red and White - Coat and Bike

Today we get a reprieve from the cold, neither of us were wearing gloves. It's wet but glorious out! Winter will make one so grateful for small pleasures.

She was making her way to work as the little snowflakes filtered down early this morning.

Warm Hands

Today is 16F, winds 15mph (-10C, winds 40 km/h). It's COLD.
This lady with the cute boots seems warmer with those cheerful gloves.

Fusion Style on a bike

I'm not sure what to call this style of trouser, I'm sure I've never seen them before. I'm not sure they're the best for cycling but they do make for a change from the ordinary. With the military-style jacket they seem a bit 'marital arts' to me, making the trousers seem a bit like something one would wear for aikido.

His beaded wallet leash reminds me of Kombolói.



All in all, a distinctive look!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Christmas lights, wrapping paper in the bike bag, decorated bike... all very festive. I've seen people reporting that their bikes are "lit up like Christmas trees" - anyone out there take the Christmas tree analogy any further?

I get lots of compliments on my little bells, and lots of smiles. I'd love to see other festive bikes.

Cheerful Colors Beat the Cold

This was taken through a window, there's a slight bit of reflection in the image.

Guest Photos: Bikes in Norway

My friend E sent these photos taken just for us on her recent trip to Norway. She's currently living in Iceland. I'd love to see some Icelandic cycle chic, particularly in winter...

Anyway, we hope you all enjoy these photos.

I'm glad she was out.
