my new favorite bike shop Homespun Bikes is having a fantastical week! they are organizing to help build knowledge of bicycles and community by presenting A BikeShare Camp tonight at the Leaning Tower of Pizza and a Clothing Swap Saturday evening (details in photo above). i'm really stoked to attend these events as Jesse has been one of the first persons to welcome me with open arms in her and her partners little bike shop. oh yeah, i'm also having her as a guest on the blog soon too. i'll be attending both events if you're interested in them, i'm sure i'll find some interesting stories and knowledge to share with you guys, so stay tuned!
baby's got a new rack...
1/28/2011
lately i've been on the search of a new bike back rack. i had a dilemna with my old rack as it was too small to hold my panniers and not as sturdy as i would like it to be. it even snapped on me from so much friction on road, not very safe. for me this is a commuting problem because i carry heavy school books, groceries, shopping finds, and other items every day. yesterday i made a quick stop to my favorite neighborhood bike shop Homespun where my friends Jesse and Ami fixed me up with this adorable used rack, even has a light reflector, very handy. since the new semester requires more items to carry on bike, i am super stoked to have a reliable rack that can hold EVERYTHING i need to carry on a daily basis. thanks jesse and ami!
It meets at Pee Wee Herman Plaza (foot of Market Street) at 5:30 on the last Friday of every month
