Double trouble

I hadn't been to Critical mass in ages. I hadn't seen this good friend of mine on a bike, even longer than that...
On Friday, I went to rent me a tandem (my brain creatively misfires here and then) and decided to pick her up for critical mass ride. She had no idea because we were just meeting for happy hour drinks or something girlie like that. Yeah, kind of a surprise but the weather was so nice and clear who would say no to such fun ride, right? She is not a bike rider at all – so it was nice to hear she had a blast.
I felt bad that we got into a slow-fall incident (fast teenager with lose clothes=handlebar tangle mess)
Sorry :( for her knee but, that is super gnarly scar waiting to happen. ♥Ride on girlfriend!

Park tool & the Frenchie share the same blue passion.

Separated at birth

Not too long ago ChiaraKael, from Toronto Bike Chic commented about the NYC talented Taliah Lempert & shortly after, I came across this lovely postcard on a recent visit to Mojo Cafe. ♥!!!

Tweets and the city

Do you tweet?
Most the time I dont even know where my cell phone is so, go figure. It has been months that buddies have asked me (and a few recent emails) to get into the twit-mode. Is that what the cool kids are doing?
Here is me: @meligrosa

This comes a few minutes after I had just read that twittering is as cool as blue velvet ‹LaughingSquid|David Lynch Confirms Twitter Account›

In the meantime, here is a gorgeous photo with an interesting article. H/T:Ratta

I Tweet, Therefore I Am
By Owen Thomas
‟Why do people Tweet? Even the company's CEO,
Ev Williams | @ev can't answer that question. Perhaps he
is embarrassed by the true reason: We Twitter to
reassure ourselves that we are alive.
But the narcissism of today's overcommunicators transcends

Nite riders


Wednesday was my 1st butter ride this year. I was happy I had the chance to make it +remembered to bring the camera. I plan to do it more than last year, way more. Decided to bomb some hills & show the smurfette some love, I forget how smooth it is. It is a pretty fast bike, with a very slow rider (and perfectly fine &happy with that...) As always great vibe, happy bikers & a nice crisp 40°weather.

From SF to DF

Location: Palacio de Bellas Artes Las Bicicletas by Aceves Navarro
**Read more: LAtimes | Press release: Yahoo.mx news ‹eng. GoogleTrans.

This is the last post of the D.F. /Mexico City series.
I got to see plenty of great street art as well as public installations during the quick trip.
The one above, was by far my favorite of course.

Below is a mural-wall by local San Francisco artist Sam Flores.
This was at a food/market place in collaboration with Saner, a DF-based artist. Sweet find

After I took this shot, I realized that it was pretty ironic.
Here's a reference link, just in case you're not familiar with the accidental
spin-off I came upon: Hotel_LaChapelle(wiki link)
