Design and Style
A lovely blend from the artisan roasters at Metropolis Coffee Company, savored in my new The Seventh Sphinx mug! An add-on to my business card order. The logo is a little pixelated but this is my failing, and not that of the mug. Some almond biscotti and an omelet, and there is an excellent breakfast.
Have been getting more into coffee (following in so many illustrious footsteps), which I suspect will be increasingly evident.
I want a bike.
Not just any bike, either, a light, breezy road bike with a Dutch silhouette and coloring that personally appeals.
Something like the Globe Daily series…
You get the idea, low, swooping crossbar, or whatever that bar is called (yeah…possibly I need to learn more about bikes), prominent splash-guards, chain guard, clean lines, and some appealing color options.
I like the step-through design, too, as I’m not that confident a rider, at least not in the city, which is why I haven’t considered getting one before now. That and helmets, which are, for the naturally curly, the enemy. I’d like to be more mobile, though, and a bike (aside from the sobering Boston bike injury and mortality statistics…) sounds like an ideal option.
[Not to mention they are such ideal props for bicycle-chic outfits! I am already inspired, and I’m categorizing this post under fashion > accessories.]
I’m thinking…a pale green or blue, possibly cream. Love those white tires, too. Hmmm. I think the pale blue with the white tires is my favorite…
Conveniently I have plenty of time to mull this over, as the cost is something I’d have to save up to meet and make calculations to even consider, and I need to build my bike fund. Still, something like this is just what I am looking for.
