puremystery: This is my sister Kariz and she is my inspiration to ride and maintain my bicycle(s). She and her husband live in San Francisco and they ride all over town; this photo was taken from her local shop in SF. When she visited the other week, she brought me to the shop & fix-it places she would frequent when she lived in LA, which are coincidentally/conveniently in MY neighborhood! When I saw the walls lined up with beautiful, colorful frames and accessories, the helmets, bells, custom grips, even the baskets looked cool. Kariz introduced me to bike culture and persuaded me to learn how to fix’n’ride. Someday I hope I can save up for and maintain a cool ride like hers, but for now I’ll work with the cruiser that was handed down to me. It’s a tough uphill climb when I only have one speed to use, so I’ll work on that soon. -- source link
