“You Keep Up Well”
As a cyclist, many of the people I date tend to be as well. I think that’s great. Having a common interest is always a great thing. Plus, rides are more fun with company. However, time and time again, guys will say the same thing to me towards the end of our ride: “You keep […]
CicLAVia: Iconic Wilshire Blvd. – 4/6/2014
CicLAvia–one of my favorite events in Los Angeles! Today’s event was Los Angeles’ ninth installment of the car-free event. Wilshire Blvd. was closed to vehicle traffic from Miracle Mile to the Financial District. Thousands turned out with bicycles, skateboards and roller blades. There were several designated walking areas for those who wanted to enjoy the […]
This Weekend: Giving the Streets Back to Foot and Bike Traffic
If you live or play anywhere near Mid City, do yourself a solid and abandon your car this weekend. Giant portions of major throughways throughout Los Angeles will be shut down for special events. This means massive headaches for drivers. Expect delays that make you with the President was in town. Saturday, the Hollywood Half […]
Should Bicyclists Need a License?
This morning I was a block from home on my ride to work. I was going down a small, yet steep hill with an immediate right turn at the bottom. I had to quickly dart out of the way of another cyclist who was riding down the wrong side of the street. On my ride […]
Chinese New Year and the Golden Dragon Parade
Happy Lunar New Year everyone! If you were anywhere near Chinatown this weekend, hopefully you were able to catch some of the festivities. On Saturday I biked to Chinatown with my friend, Ashley, for the 115th Annual Golden Dragon Parade. Luck was on our side as we snagged prime real estate near the end of […]
This Early Year in Los Angeles
I hope everyone had an incredible New Year’s Eve, with a great start to 2014! As I mentioned in my previous post, my NYE was spent at a black tie party in Santa Monica. I won the tickets off KCRW and took my friend, Samantha. The party was something that was totally out of our […]
Merry Belated Christmas!
I hope you are having a beautiful holiday season! For me personally, it’s hard to get in the holiday season. I’m originally from Milwaukee, and my family, by and large, still lives in the Midwest. And it just doesn’t seem like Christmas when I’m enjoying the beautiful 80 degree weather. But with that said, I […]
The Thrill of a New Route
As a biker, you have your regular routes to get you from one neighborhood to another: Venice Blvd. to the beach, 7th St. to DTLA. When I’m going from K-Town near the Sunset corridor of Silverlake, I would typically head north on Heliotrope and right on Santa Monica. It’s a good route. You pass through […]
Tamale Fest at Olvera Street – 12/15/2013
Sunday was one of those beautiful days that make a gal grateful to live in Southern California. It was about 80 degrees, yet didn’t have the muggy heat of the summer months. Perfect for a bike ride and some Mexican food! My friends, Patty and Joe, and I rode our bikes to Olvera Street for […]
