Yesterday at the Commuter Breakfast, a new cyclist, seeing me bike up in a skirt, asked where she could go to buy a skirtguard. For those of you who have no need for one of these, skirtguards keep long/flowy skirts from getting caught in the rear wheel spokes. While a popular feature on bikes abroad, they are darn near impossible to find in the states.

Copenhagen girls (a terrific blog by the way) has a good bit on skirtguards found here.

Fresh off the vine blackberries, that's why. Every morning since summer came around, I try to catch a red light. One red light in particular. If my timing is good, I have a minute or two to pluck a few juicy, ripe blackberries from my perch with one foot on the curb. People in cars next to me try not to stare - I can't tell if it's from envy or confusion.
