Day 41 Biker Chic

2008.02.11

I like the idea of happily biking around the neighborhood with my groceries in a wicker basket (much like my neighbor's cute bike above). But yesterday I biked around Oakland for the first time in months and I remembered why I hardly ever do it. Between dodging crazy drivers on their cell phones and barely avoiding huge barreling buses, it was too much excitement for one afternoon. I think I will save my biking days for when I move to the 'burbs.

lexlevans what a great bike shot! brings back sentimental feelings of biking around when i was younger - with my basket of course!

unfortunately biking now equals death my mind now that I live in chicago... i brought my bike and used to bike for my groceries but it's just WAY too dangerous and scary!!! so i walk now... :-)

sendthestars Very cute bike! I am like you-I could totally picture myself riding around town on that bike, but the roads here aren't very biker friendly. Nice pic!

whydrive So sorry that they've chased you off the roads. Cyclists have the legal right, but I'm afraid many drivers lack the simple courtesy. I understand your reluctance. Don't let them hold you down for too long.... I dream of more bikers on the roads. It will take numbers to change things.... ride safe & enjoy.
