Ode to the Bicycle

There once was a time, circa 1980 something, that I could actually ride a bike. It was a cute bike with the works. Pink-check! Cute basket with flowers-check! Neon things for the spokes-check!

(I love that my shirt matched my bike! I was coordinating while still in training wheels! LOL! )

But what is a girl to do when she has outgrown her pink bike days and is not quite so coordinated as she used to be? She can just remember the good times by wearing the Two Wheeler Shirtdress from Anthropologie. When this perfect shirtdress popped up as a new arrival on their website I knew I had to have it.

Just so it isn't too June Cleaver I will probably pair it will my red patent leather Steve Madden shoes from a few seasons ago:

In keeping up with the blog topic of the day, I ran across this photo on flickr that looks like the more grown up version of my pink bike! It even has the same basket! For all of you Friends fans, isn't this bike so Phoebe?!

This one was just too beautiful not to share! With scenery like that who wouldn't want to lounge around town on a bike!

This one is too fun! This lady is hauling some major bootie! I just imagine her shoes enventually flying off due to the sheer speed she is traveling!
