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

Thanks Lola for the mention, so happy to have helped inspire you in some way via my photos and blog!
ReplyDeleteRegarding shopping for a bicycle...have you checked out my read Dream Bicycle List? It's a start.
I am so excited for you and will follow along with your new bicycling journey in life.
Ahhh...that list is EXACTLY what I need! Thanks for passing along the info, and for making the selection process a bit easier for me :).
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the kind words and permission to use your pics and link. And I look forward to fueling my excitement for a new bike (and looking good while riding it!) by following Riding Pretty.
Gorgeous pictures! Buying a new bike is always exciting. I ride an Azor Oma, which is very similar to the bikes pictured above. The first picture is of the Electra Amsterdam. The Pashley Princess and ANT Boston Roadster are another of my favorites in that style. Riding Pretty's Dream Bicycle List has them all, I'm pretty sure :) I've got my favorites listed, along with some reviews here. Good luck!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the link - I just took a peek and oh yes, the Poppy is lovely! I'm not typically a "pink" gal but I think if I had that bike it would have to be in the pink :).
Also like the Provence too...sigh, they're all so pretty...
Very thoughtful blogg
