You remember Dre and his violet Bianchi from this photo. He has more than one shirt that coordinates with his bike. Also he has two blue wheels with green spokes now not just the rear.
What a smile.
Pedro is one of the ride organizers.
Bike tank and scarf coordination.
So Happy to see someone in a skirt with fab boots! And she was on a Mixte!
I think that the idea behind this ride is really great. Not regularly seeing people who look like you doing a thing kinda makes it seem like you shouldn't do it or even can't. It is awesome to see that everyone can use bikes for transportation.
this makes me super happy. I cheer at my screen whenever I see a blogger catch a person of color doing their thing on a bike b/c it seems to be a rare catch. xoxo We'll keep on keeping on.
ReplyDeleteThese pics and this story are awesome!!! All right LA!
ReplyDeleteI used to fence and I play the oboe so I've gotten to used to participating in things where I don't see a lot of other black people. I'm pretty much satisfied with seeing any minorities in an orchestra or on a bike.
ReplyDeleteOh, as for those feelings that maybe you shouldn't or can't ride your bike for transportation, check out this post about Buffalo Soldiers trying out the "new" safety bike in 1897.
