So while in general I like to have a "Pollyanna" outlook on the world, I have lost the ability to have that feeling about bicycle storage. In the past 3 years, I've had both bikes I've owned stolen, the latter having disappeared this past week (from the basement of my building, which means I know it's one of my neighbors but I'm not tough enough to go around asking...just glad we're moving in two weeks.) Although I'm upset about my pretty turquoise cruiser being gone, I had sort of already been scheming to get a nicer bike (and sturdier lock!) around Christmastime from my soon-to-be husband, so here's his hint!
These are a few of my favorites. In general, I have a big thing for a red bike with cream tires, and I don't need more than 3 speeds. I also tend to use it most for trips to the market, so a cute basket is a must. I have to say I'm probably the most into the one on the top left at the moment.
Where are your favorite places to get bikes? I see Papillionaire a lot around the blogosphere, and Public is another big favorite in NYC. I've also heard great things about Linus bikes!
PS: These stores have some great discounts right now - Papillionaire has free shipping on all bikes, and Public is offering a free rack & U-lock with all bike orders!
(Quick note - this post isn't sponsored! i just thought these bikes were really cute.)
