The girl in the red coat

This brightened my day yesterday. Loved one of the early scenes in the British film 'Wild Target' where Rose (played by the most gorgeous Emily Blunt) cycles through London on a Dutch-style bike in a vivid red coat, weaving in and out of traffic, dodging pedestrians, setting off firecrackers to distract security guards before cycling through the National Gallery. Ha!

Little Friday things.

Have a little look at these bikey vintage things made by Sydney-based Rocket Fuel from vintage and recycled fabrics. Great things to decorate your noggin'.

Bikes from other places (and times).

Bikes that have caught my eye somewhere, sometime.

This bike was waiting for its owner one night outside the Wheatsheaf hotel, Adelaide.

Bikes are everywhere in Shanghai, China

It's raining.

Again. What a long winter we've had! I'm here at work, but what I feel like doing is riding trails and getting all muddy.

I like...

...unexpectedly finding new bike shops! This little beauty is tucked away in Adelaide's Ebenezer Place, a stone's throw from the yummy Chocolate Bean cafe. Sam, Em and Rusty the shop dog have just opened this store called Treadly, full of shiny dutch-style bikes, fast fixies and parts to tinker with.

Go and say hello. Immediately.
