Practical Cycles Adventure

Yesterday Kari and I visited "Practical Cycles" in old Sacramento. The father/son shop is the newest addition to the already thriving community of bike shops in our area.

Cassidy Castleman and his Dad, Tim Castleman welcomed us with open arms.   We test rode the electrical "Pedego" It was truly a fun ride. We will featuring a Pedego and a Worksman Cycle at the Vélo & Vintage Fashion Show.

They were so generous that they offered me a Worksman to ride around. Coming soon pictures of me on my new shiny Red Worksman bike.

Vélo & Vintage Fashion Show

I have been toying with the idea of a bicycle fashion show for quite sometime. This year I began a course with Landmark Education call "Self Expression and Leadership Program" Inside of that program my fashion show idea took form and life.

Now with only a week away; The "Vélo & Vintage Fashion Show" has brought together many merchants and artist from our Central City. Originally my idea was to inspire my community to come together and contribute to each other, and so far the outpouring have been amazing.

Kari Shipman of juniper james is my partner in crime. She brings the knowledge and expertise of the Vintage Fashion Industry. We are touched, moved and inspired by our community outpouring to participate from the heart.

Please read the press we had around the show:

Signs Changing on K Street

The signs that once prohibited bicycle traffic on K Street are now being changed to allow bikes between 13th and 7th Streets. Pictured here is the City of Sacramento worker adding the new signs.

As you bicycle down this part of K Street, remember to stay in the middle part, yeild to pedestrians and trains, cross the numbered streets with the pedestrian signal and ride at or slower than 10 miles per hour.
