riding for all occasions...
why do most of us in australia think we have to wear ugly 'pratical' footware to ride our bikes!

i've just been looking at the cycle chic blog.
these are some of the images i found there!




if only we in australia could enjoy the freedom to ride without a helmet...




now i really do need to learn how to crochet.
my yellow bike is nolonger complete with out one of these skirtguards

my yellow bike made it into the photo!



these images are the final result from the creative tim neve.
they are now on the lost at e minor blog for all to see.

first up is zac zavos, one of the creative founders of lost at e minor;
then gillian bencke (your truly) from her label bencke;
and then tim mcphee, one of the members of the band firekites.

all of us newcastle dwellers

the tassles on the elm tree at 'greenways' are always the first stage of the spring garden.
the whole tree humms from dawn to dusk with the sound of bees.
thousands of them.

the other half of the image is a green moth?
