Lovely bag! On our way to New Orleans to pick up DD.
Love the bag!
Glad was nothing worse.
Hello, Miss Choc!
Which bag did you take?
Hello, islanders!I am questioning several things today:
1) do clipless shoes/pedals REALLY make life easier, as urban cyclist? Because it seems as gimmee-more-$-for-dumb-junk hype.
2) is purseblog written by employees from fashionphile, yoogi's, etc? Because follows interesting product promotion pattern.
3) is there a cosmic law, which forces strawberry yogurt to spill onto white shirts? Because I did it AGAIN.
Thank you! Miss Choc is a trooper.

Atom sling is a trooper, too!Trying new cycling shorts=winner
Though NO IDEA what to call color.
Periwinkle? Matches-nothing-blue?
Meh, they work.

I have no idea about other questions, too, but I strongly believe in cosmic laws regarding white t-shirts. They involve pasta an chocolate, too.
At the local park with my adventure bag.
Happy Saturday everyone!
Miss Choc and your Bree are lovely companions for a sunny weekend away from work and the city's maddening crowd...

Clipless system has metal cleat, on bottom of shoe--attaches foot to metal bit in pedal.
Or, can clip feet to pedals--using straps over any shoe.
People suggest this for more torque/speed. People suggest lots of stuff I find questionable.
Wrecking in traffic, with feet attached to bike, seems bad.
So..undecided about clipless thing. But my new pedals will use them, if want.
Might be good for race.

The cosmic law of strawberries & chocolate turned around for me.
Lookie what I was given, rolling bike through store! Tasty.
Hooray! Great bag for park adventures!
So far, my wildest Saturday adventure was listening to guy read aloud. To himself. At full voice volume. In coffee shop.
Dude, no.
Or pick a better book--then, okay.

How are you? Still rain in your area?
(Still no rain in mine. They promised it for today, but at the moment everything is sunny and without clouds. The trees outside my window look a bit sad by now.)
Aha. Thanks for explaining those pedals. I have always used pedals without anything like that. Here, 99% of city bikers do not use pedals like that. Just the ordinary ones. Also, I think that a huge number of bikers use their city bikes for biking outside the city, too. I did this. Only people who are biking on mountains or who are doing races use such pedals.Blue=

I would feel uneasy if my feet were clipped to the bike. But, normally those things pop open in an accident for security reasons.
Reading loud? Should try this on the underground.
Visited my cousin today. Thanks to her job she sometimes gets presents (aka wine) from costumers. As she is not drinking alcohol... fetched the first bottles.
On the way to her I used the medium cuir.
On the way back the Le Pliage Bilberry. With cuir inside.
Happy Sunday!

I’m with Ludmilla I’d feel uncomfortable with my feet clipped to the pedals. Happy riding !!
