Bikes for the World

...needs your help if you live in the Washington, DC area. There will be a donation day on Saturday, April 16th at area Whole Foods Markets. They will be accepting bicycle (& financial) donations but before that, they need you to spread the word via blogs, Facebook, Twitter, residential & company listservs.

BfW also needs volunteers to help pack the bicycles for shipment. Please see the organization website for details. (BfW is a sponsored project of The Washington Bicyclist Association, check them out too!)

Elegance on Wheels - Week's End

Have an elegant weekend. Here's a great photograph from one of our favorite blogs, Cycle Chic from Copenhagen. We have the Italian red gloves..& that's about it--for now. [photograph by Mikael via flickr.]

Copenhagen Christmas Tree

From fabulous Copenhagen Cycle Chic, titled Copenhagen Yule. [Here is our 22 November post about CCC.] Clever, clever, sensible, & chic: what more could one possibly want?! We'd have a tree in the apartment by now if we lived like this. No fuss, no muss. Read here for the accompanying text. The best! Merry holidays to all our friends in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, & Finland. You are truly inspirational.

Merry Meow!

Morning in Amsterdam

Obsessing about bicycles...GG desperately wants to ride around in the front basket (she prefers a white wicker one, goes well with red & white coat). With a big bunch of flowers. Since this is Amsterdam, of course, we choose tulips. While you're (virtually) here, in Holland, visit a lovely blog (in English) Bake & Sew.

Bike for Barack

As always, from democraticstuff.com. Here's a link to Bike Washington for cycling in the DC-area. GG is still waiting for her editor to: 1) obtain new bicycle; 2) attach a front basket; 3) put GG in the basket; 4) ramble around town (for all to admire GG). Sadly, it will be quite a while for the realization of GG's feline fantasy. But we will try out our friend Maria Caterina di Perugia's new Gigi bike soon. If a bicycle can be adorable, it is definitely adorable.

Vote, vote, vote. Volunteer, volunteer, volunteer. We are so filled with election anxiety, onset of the vapors is possible; in which case, our having voted absentee in early October was a prescient move.

ciao-meow, bisou,
GG's editor
