The first SLC girly bike gang
...The FTP hosting our first official weekly ride! I'm so proud of this flyer I could squeal. I'm no graphic designer but I figure it looks pretty good, eh?

I rode around yesterday and gave this flyer to every woman I could find on a bike. I'm excited to get this community growing. Now if only people were just as easy to convince about faith as they are about icecream and bicycle riding.
(and no i cannot eat ice cream but I'm so over it)
We could be closer than you know,

ps> Remember "Hands and Feet" by Audio Adrenaline? I like that song. haha

sweet new ride...
I've been slowly workin' on a new ride. Right now the whole thing is built out of recycled parts with the exception of the rims.

There are a few more components that I need to make gold before it's "finished". Yes I also need tubes with GOLD stems(the tires arent' shown here but i have a nice pair chillin just off frame) and... wait for it.... a GOLD CHAIN. I already technically have a gold chain- my buddy Patrick is giving me on he used to use on one of his old bikes. I'm just waiting for him to get his new one so I can grab it from him. I'm going to paint the cranks gold as well as the seat post. Eventually I'd love to buy this gold chain-ring and crank set online thats gold with little hearts in the negative space but that is pretty far off. For now it's chill being recycled and rattle canned. I got some car rim paint and a finish and primer that adher to metal really well. muahaha. so bling.
Notice the pedals and the "poof" pad. That's right- plastic pedals from a little kids bike along with a fun little poof pad. I have to go in with a sharpie and darken the diamonds on the poof pad though but that shouldn't take long. Haha I'm still laughing that I'm actually building myself a fixed gear. Well my boyfriend is building it with me- he is like the paint master fosho.
Some of you might remember my old little road bike:

I'm still on it every single day and will continue to be. I just think it's probably important to have two bikes ready to go incase one of them gets clobbered. The story might be different if I had a car... eh... naa I'd still build up the goldy:)
