Sunday Streets with a few stops along the way...



Yesterday my Pashely and I had the pleasure of joining some of San Francisco's best loved cycling bloggers for a day of leisurely cycling.
Velo Vogue's Kristin and Shelly from Riding Pretty and I met for morning coffee at cycling cafe Mojo. After our caffeine fix Kristin guided us through the city to the Bayview area for the Sunday Streets event. Its a fantstic initiative, basically every few weeks in the Spring/summer a certain ares of the city is blocked off to traffic and cyclists and pedestrians are King of the road.
Along the way we met up with Adrienne, author of Change your life, ride a bike, and her two kids and then stopped for a iced tea at the Oasis that is Flora Grub.
Thanks to the powers of the internet and the sociability of the cycling culture. I was able to come half way around the world, meet up withe lovely group of ladies and ride and chat in the Sunday sunshine... thanks guys!
A few pics from the day: Stopping at Flora Grubs we had a bike swapping session, Adrienne's daughter, Una, looking right at home on my Pashley (above)

How wonderful that the 3 of you met up - fabulous Bike Bloggers united!

All looks and sounds great - nice pictures of you all :)

I have the nicest envy about that Raleigh 20 - that's the kind of ride that I want as my 2nd set of Wheels when I'm in Portsmouth!

Have fun ladies x

So jealous of your cycle chic conquering! I'll be in Chicago to see Dottie of LGRAB in August. Hopefully we'll get up to some jealousy inducing activities too:)
