Sun and Cycles in Santa Barbara

Apologies for the lack of posts over the last week. I have been battling with jet lag since my return from California and this is the first evening I am have managed to stay awake after 7pm. Although missing the perpetual blue sky's it is nice to be back in London even if it is a little grey.
Our last week in the US was spent in Santa Barbara were I was lucky enough to get involved in the Santa Barbara Cycle Chic show which was a great evening. Models and guests mingled for an hour or so before the show in the evening sunshine, drinking local beer and wine. It was such a lovely atmosphere without the pretence and preciousness that one sometimes encounters at fashion shows.
There were some beautiful bikes involved, from our old favourites Pashley to Electra and New York's Bowery lane Bicycles and of course great accessories from our new US online store and great local shop The Wheelhouse. It was full house and the army of models strutted (and cycled) their stuff with style. A few pics to give you feel of the evening.
