instead of this:
The Electra Amsterdam comes in both a male and female version. It has a Nexus internal 3-speed hub [making it super easy for peddling inclines], coaster brake, fully-enclosed metal chainguard [your pants will thank you], coat/skirt guards [your skirt will thank you], full fenders with mud flap [your pretty shoes will thank you], rear luggage rack, generator headlight and most importantly, the bell [which gets a lot of unnecessary use when I ride]. The Amsterdam comes in a range of colors such as Black, White, Cape Cod Blue, Buttercream, Red, and Green. I am in the process of having a custom basket made for my rear luggage rack so I can get more use of my bicycle around town.
One day when I luckily find $1,000 graciously gifted to me, I will upgrade to the Pashley Delibike. Pashley bikes are handmade in England using the same process since 1926. No mass maufacturing for this company!
Although I would need to do some serious shopping on the Delibike to justify that beauty, I may be able to fit my dog in the basket.

this is our main means of transport around town here in manhattan beach! 'the beach cruiser' as we call it. i love it! good to see it put to use outside of a beach town.
Oh Megan, I am so jealous you get to use this as a main mode of transportation! Sadly, I cannot take the beach cruiser on I-10 with cars going a minimum of 90mph. But I do love using it around the neighborhood as much as possible. We've been known to bike a pizza home from time to time.
that bike is rad.
cute blog.
