I've been trying to figure out outfits that work well with bike riding. I always see those pictures of girls looking so fashionable when riding a bike. They're in these cute dresses, with their hair looking perfectly wind blown, and I just feel like a big sweaty mess in sports shorts and a gross old t-shirt. I decided to try to up my game. We biked to our favorite pizza place a few weeks ago, so I wore this outfit. It was pretty comfortable, and my hair was up so it didn't look too bad once I took off my helmet. Luckily it was a cool night, so I wasn't overly sweaty when we got there. A little sweaty, but at least my shorts didn't have big sweat stains making it look like I peed my pants on our big adventure. That was my biggest fear. It ended up being a lot farther away than we thought, though, so we were trying to navigate our way home in the dark. Not the safest thing to do. Next time we'll shoot for the early bird special.

Kari, the grab box for your buttons doesn't appear to be working. Have refreshed the page a few times and it's still the same. Must be a problem with the coding! If you want I'll re-code them for you (:
ReplyDeleteLove your bike. I got my beach cruiser last year and LOVE it!. I wish I could ride it more often. The scenery around my neighborhood is not nearly as nice and green as yours. It's all industrial on my end. Boo! :/
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when reading your post though. Two reasons: The sweat stain most of all. I always want to take the leap and ride our bikes to the closest restaurant or frozen yogurt shop nearby with images of those girls, dressed all cute when riding their bikes, but it's actually not that beautiful in real life. The ride would be at least five miles and I am so out of shape it's not even funny (although riding there and back more often might help the matter but anywho...) and it's so damn hot hear in AZ. My husband and I rode out bikes once to the library (about 1 and a half mile away) I couldn't get off my bike and go inside because I was embarrassingly sweaty. Double boo! Bike rides are just more more enjoyable in my head. :/
I have to say you looked quite cute, which makes me not like you a little bit. hahaha. I kid...I kid of course. :)
P.s. Sorry my comments are always so long. lol
Lovely pictures :)

I don't know how girls pull off the cute look while riding either! Maybe they're just riding up and down their street?? But you definitely pulled it off, I especially love your headband! I don't care what I look like when I ride. I usually just wear yoga pants and an old t-shirt/tank top because I know for sure I'm going to get sweaty & gross. lol. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute! I love the pop of color on your lips! Happy Riding (without any spills)! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit and I love how the photos share the details of your experience. When I ride my bike I opt for shorts and a shirt or a dress with a bathing suit under it since we're usually riding by the beach. But sometimes, when my suit shows while I'm riding, I feel the urge to announce "It's my bathing suit!" so people don't assume it's my underwear.
