You guys. It’s spring! Isn’t it funny how one day you’re grudgingly putting on your winter coat and the next you’re walking around downtown wearing a t-shirt and flip flops? I started riding my bike to work again last Thursday. It was so wonderful, I almost wish we lived farther from my job. We’re moving again, Conor and I, to the East Rock area on May 1st. I am very excited and I’ve already begun mapping different routes to make my bike commute longer in the morning. With some inspiration, I decided to dress up my bicycle a little:

I’ve been wanting a basket since I bought the bike, well over a year ago, but ended buying a rack and attaching a milk crate to it. I was always paranoid things were going to fly out of it though, no matter how many bungees I used to secure things down. The front basket puts my paranoia to rest and it’s visually pleasing especially, with the flowers. I’ve  been meaning to blog about my helmet since I bought it last year. 

I’ll admit it, I hate helmets. I think they’re dorky and they make my head sweat something fierce in the summer. That being said, I value my brains and my life so, I wear a helmet. I searched the Internet far and wide to find one that I wouldn’t mind wearing and ended up on Nutcase Helmets. I love it. My head still sweats but I feel like a cool dork wearing it as opposed to a dorky dork.
