I Want a Bike, and Other Cosmic Musings

I am a strong believer in signs and also in unconsciously manufacturing your own destiny. I have some big changes coming up in the next 6 months that will be revealed when the time is right; in the meantime, all I can say is that for this big life shift I am in the process of making happen, it feels very zen-like in a "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear" sort of way. Bits of signage in support of the mission have been popping up here and there without provocation, and the latest beacon from beyond has been showing up in my blog feed reader with uncanny repetition. I speak of course of la bicicleta, and the only hint I'll offer regarding how this ties to the changes to come is that a bike is going to come in awfully handy...(image above, courtesy of Bike Snob NYC)

In the meantime, enjoy these lovely posts I've come across from a few of my favorite blogs, all in homage to la bicicleta:

• Bicycle Fashion Photography and coordinated bike fashion from the blog Painfully Hip
• Me and My Bike from the blog Garance Doré
• London Cyclistas from Riding Pretty

And here are some pics to give you an idea of my bicycle state of mind:

And of course, I'm open to bike model recommendations from any bikeophiles out there (of a similar style to those in the above photos).
