Bicycling Accoutrements

We missed the 8:31pm train back to NYC Sunday night on Mother's Day so we used the extra hour productively at Target! I found some great items to accessorize my bike.

40 MILES!!!

Yesterday I biked 40 miles with Batsheva. I biked up the West Side highway to meet her at 85th & Riverside. I nearly fell off my bike when I spotted someone carrying the Schlep bag I designed. Then we biked up Riverside Drive, over the George Washington Bridge, up to the Palisades Interstate and then back down the west side of Manhattan. Hello Engelwood Cliffs & Tenafly. I've recently looked at a map to see exactly where I was. Batsheva is a pro at these routes, as she has a Road Bike and does many long rides.

It was so eye opening to me to see the cycling culture. So many bike riders were out in packs along the Interstate & they had some great outfits on! I also loved how their shirts had compartments to store things. Where can I get one of those?

This is the longest I have ever ridden - especially on a day that reached into the high 80s! Getting home from UWS wasn't pretty as my legs were sooooooo DONE for the day! Still a bit sore today, but happy about achieving so many miles.

Bicycle Horoscope

No joke- look at my horoscope for April 20-26 over at AstroStyle!

Your outdoorsy side is always activated by the warming weather. Invest in a bike or upgrade your current two-wheeler. Riding to work or on short-distance errands will be fun way to get the endorphins pumping while reducing your carbon footprint.

Anything about biking catches my eye these days---including this Thursday Styles article about business couture for bicycling commuters (men's though) :-(

20 MILES!!!

Today I biked 20 miles! I set out biking uptown to Central Park. Once I got to Central park a did 3 laps (approx 18 miles) and when you add in the distance from my apartment & back = 20 miles. I felt fabulous after this ride & realized Central Park has some hills! Not so apparent on foot, but when you are biking - you FEEL it!
