Of Bicycles And Airstream Trailers, Part I

The search for a portrait setting at the Heels On Wheels ride today found this vintage Airstream trailer, the travelling home of Small Room Collective. Lauren and Travis have brought their treasures to Church Street, Decatur for the weekend. Look for them next to the Victory Sandwich Shop. The graphic on the trailer's number plate is not wishful thinking. It commemorates French racing cyclist Alfred LeTourneur, who towed an Airstream trailer at Metropolitan Airport in Van Nuys, California in 1947.

At City Hall

Heels On Wheels Saturday

The Heels On Wheels hiatus ends Saturday morning at ten o'clock, when cyclists will gather at Houndstooth Road in Decatur. Say ride organizers, "Suggested dress is 'bike fancy' though heels are optional." Please look to their facebook page for more information.

Street Scene: Her Ride To Work

The month of May is themed all things bicycle. Today we ride with Mayor Reed from City Hall to Piedmont Park and next Saturday, the much missed Heels on Wheels resumes with a tour of Decatur.

Cyclofemme 2014

The noble sentiment, Never Give Up, here realized by Living Walls muralist Eme, gains a poignant dimension this damp morning of Streets Alive. While Cyclofemme riders enjoyed clear skies last Sunday for their tour East Atlanta and Kirkwood, Peachtree Street is ours today, rain or shine. See you there!

Streets Alive This Sunday

The fun resumes Sunday at 2pm, when three miles of Peachtree Street from MLK Drive to 17th Street become a pedestrian paradise until 6pm. New for this event will be a service of the upcoming Atlanta Cycling Festival, It's a bike wash, YEAH!
Like her shiny spokes and forks? You, too, can have such a clean machine. Just bring your ride to Villains Wicked Heroes, 903 Peachtree Street. Your donation will support a week-long celebration of all things bicycle June 7-14.

Happy Mother's Day

Was it two summers ago that Christina and her parasol found me in Little Five Points? How the time flies. Now she has blog of her own called Sunday, not to mention two adorable daughters. Yesterday afternoon we defied the promise of thunderstorms and were rewarded with an adventure on two wheels.
