a helmet i can sink my teeth into

every time i see my mom...well ALMOST every time, she likes to bring up me riding a bike...without a helmet. she even took me on a fake shopping trip once to "go check out the new REI in town". she headed straight for the bike helmets upon entry and had no interest in the rest of the store. i know! i should wear one...but they're just so damn ugly. i've considered buying the classic skateboarding helmet for a little more style but i haven't got around to it yet...uh hem.

UNTIL today. i found these bike helmets/covers from a RAD and much need company, Yakkay. these are soooo up my alley.

yeah, i know...it's a HELMET! super cool. i actually already have that hat in brown so i know it's a go.

or these...

and then throw some rad ear muffs on this baby.....

that's what i'm talkin about!

so i sent my mom the link so she could see that FINALLY someone made a helmet i'd be down to sport and then....THEN i realized....they're not in the US yet. of course. AUGH! i'll find one somewhere but i'm still glad someone, somewhere is on the same page as me. thank you Yakkay!

does a body good

ahh summer has finally hit southern california. don't get me wrong, the unseasonably cool temps have been nothing to complain about but i've missed the warm nights. eating outdoors on our balcony, taking an even ride through the neighborhood or a walk down to 2nd street to pick up some tasty gelato and an espresso nightcap. all i need now is for my tomatoes to take note of the heat and start pumping out some fruit.

MAY 14: ride your bike to work day

if you can, give it a try. i understand some have commutes WAY too far but maybe you should re-think that way too far job tomorrow instead.

i could really

use a bike ride on the beach about now. salescalls are BORING.

i had a dream i took a LONG bike ride through Fall Creek, outside of Eugene. i was going forever on the narrow winding road through the moss dripping forest. super rad. i ended up at the sand dunes on the oregon coast. quite a trek!

i need to ride my bike today
i need to get up to oregon soon.
