She’s finally mine! Meet my beautiful, shiny, light and speedy Diana!

After months of researching, designing and saving I finally have a bike that makes getting around in San Francisco fun, easy and amazing.

I designed her but I owe the creation of this lovely two wheeler to Wesley at American Cyclery. I went to a few bike shops and talked to a lot of people here in the city before I found someone that would listen to what I actually wanted and not try to force feed me an unattractive road bike. She’s custom and just what I had in mind. Thanks so much Wesley!!

With the purchase of Diana has come a desire to boost my bike knowledge, safety and a general desire to make commuting by bike easier. I’ve been spending a whole lot of time on the internet immersing myself in all things two wheels and making plans. A few of my favorite bike related sites?

With the change in my outlook towards biking you would think I haven’t been riding some sort of bike here in the city for almost 3 years. I guess new bikes can do that to you.

So, with the summer months drawing ever so closer, do you plan on getting out there and riding a bike? I so recommend it!
