I love your blog and do hope your fashion aesthetic spreads rapidly. I have found that a uniform (black long sleeve teeshirts and black sweaters plus four pairs of the same pants in different muted colors) allows me to focus on being busy with more important things smug in the belief that I look pretty OK. However, my cycling was confined to recreation and transportation involving a touring bike and panniers, which allowed me to toss two U-locks and a cable into the gargantuan bags. Needed if one's not riding a fixed. So I think that my pockets wouldn't acommodate a lock, but they make my butt look like my butt. I am briefly back in California and enjoying oceans of free wireless and glorious cycling in Pebble Beach. I return to Spain on Saturday, again bike-less. Strangely there is no apparent bike culture in Salamanca and the locals say that cycling is too dangerous. This seems bizarre given that Spain has produced some of the best road racers in the world. (But they're all Basques!) There is now undeniable rust developing on the chrome forks of the 1988 Miele. Methinks it's time to start saving for a Sweetpea replacement frame for 2008. Much love to you, S. Hail your gorgeous Bikeness.
