It’s that time of year again! No, not the Nordstroms Anniversary Sale (that’s not until July). It’s BIKE WEEK y’all!
Which means I get to take one of these sexy-putting-on-my-helmet-hair photos…NAILED IT.
But in all seriousness, safety first guys. Even if it makes me look like Toad from Super Mario.

That’s right folks, it’s time to ditch your 4WD for your 10 speed (with or without training wheels – no judgment here) and hit the streets! In honor of Bike Week 2013, I will ride my bike to work! Except I work in Los Angeles…and I live in Orange County…um no. I think there’s a special exception for people who have to cross county lines to go to work. But for the rest of y’all, no ifs, ands, or buts. Since I am excused from biking to work, in the spirit of Bike Week, in true borderline fab fashion, I will bike around my cul de sac to the end of the street and back. In heels. But for those real bikers, there are a lot of events going on if you ride your bike to eat, play, or shop this weekend. Apparently this is a pretty big deal in Los Angeles – even an official ‘blessing of the bicycles‘ occurred where your bike can get sprinkled with holy water to encourage safe riding. I think I will just stick to my helmet and sidewalks for my safety assurances. And avoid car doors. Happy riding everyone!
