♥ i want to ride my bicycle.

two years ago, nick bought me my very own pink bike for christmas,

and i am sad to say that although it takes up a prominent space in

my living room right now, it's functioning more as installation art

than as a form of transportation!

i am mainly terrified of riding side by side with a car,

which is basically the only option for riding it in the city

and i also am lacking the right "gear." and by gear, i don't mean a helmet,

(which is the most important bike accessory, but certainly not the most fun!)

but rather, the perfect bike/picnic/ shopping basket for the front of my bike.

i am pretty sure that if i had one of these bad boys,

i would be taking my bike to work instead of the train!

the original model for this ornate carrie basket

was actually crocheted to resemble a vintage tablecloth.

it can be worn on or off of your bicycle. LOVE!

these basil bicycle baskets are like something right out of nantucket,

which would probably be a much more ideal place to bike!

this vintage metal basket would go nicely with my vintage schwinn!

all that is missing from kate spade's picnic bike basket

is a little yippie dog, like toto!

happy biking!! source.
