    Those are incredible photographs, especially the first one!

    PS: Is your Brooks saddle honey or brown?

    hi dottie. beautiful photo’s!!
    i’ve been wanting to ask; chicago is a wonderfully flat city and the oma is really designed for flat cities and is a great replacement for a car so am wondering why you got a new bike (betty is beautiful too). are you retiring the oma? i saw on some old posts that you were in need of a new bike and wasn’t sure why so didn’t know if this new bike is replacing your oma. i don’t see as many posts about oma so wasn’t sure.

    have a wonderful 4th.

      Hi Melissa, I still ride Oma half the time. I got Betty for some variety, like when I want to go fast or ride over 10 miles or if the wind’s really bad (a harsh headwind is like a hill that never ends).

    You look gorgeous! WHERE did you thrift that dress; now I’m regretting that we didn’t have/make the time to cruise the stores in Wicker Park.

      At a thrift store in Wicker Park, actually. I can’t remember which one; it was three years ago with Tanya. We’ll hit them up next time you’re in town!

    Cute!

    Could you do a post on women’s bike helmets? I’m bored of my plain black one and looking for something more fun/stylish. So many of your photos feature helmet-free riders, but I am a helmet devotee (especially after seeing the helmet of a friend who had a bike accident. Her head was fine, the helmet was not.)

    I’d love to see some helmet options– and more photos featuring girls with bikes and helmets!
