Bike rush hour

My sister sent me this video of bike rush hour in the Netherlands, where more than a third of the people commute by bike! Awesome.

Belly shots

Last night, my brother and I went for a bike ride, and I roped him into taking a few belly shots. I'm just over 33 weeks (about 7 1/2 months), and I'm so excited to see our baby boy's teeny face in less than two months! I'm so curious about what he'll look like (and if he'll still resemble a Dr. Seuss character). I have to admit, though, I'm getting a little nervous about the actual birth. I alternate between being super calm and being slightly panicky. It makes me feel better that so many mothers have done it before. When I walk around New York, I catch myself staring at strangers and thinking, "You were born, and you were born, and you were born."

Anyway, thank you, as always, for following along! It's such a pleasure to share everything with you. xo

P.S. Past belly shots.

Tandem tee

This tandem T-shirt is cute (and true). I'm too pale and British to wear red, but someone should get this. :)Source URL: https://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/search/label/bikes

Almost spring

It's 43 degrees and sunny today, and it finally feels like spring is around the corner! I'm going to sneak away for a quick bike ride. Yippee!!!

My bike helmet

I used to ride around Manhattan without a helmet (busted), but then Alex bought me this Bern version, and I fell in love with it. The shape is more like a skateboarding or ski helmet than a traditional bike one, and it's super comfy and doesn't make your head too hot. (It also looks cute with red lipstick.)Source URL: https://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/search/label/bikes

Manhattan bikes

This weekend, for our YSL project, my friend Anna Wolf and I did a little photo shoot of New Yorkers on their bikes. It was really fun to bring together so many cute cyclists (including two-year-old Ada, above). See many more photos here.Source URL: https://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/search/label/bikes

Bike rides

How cute are these photos of Kendra and Stella on an evening ride in upper Manhattan? They look like they could be in the country.

Paris bikes

The Sartorialist took this street-style photo of two cuties riding bikes in Paris, but isn't that Adrian Grenier? (The Sartorialist's 333 comments seemed to think so.) My mom loves Entourage and always says Vince is "unflappable."Source URL: https://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/search/label/bikes

First day of fall

Today is the first day of fall, the best season ever invented. Get ready for changing leaves, bike rides and crisp weather. Also, sexy tights and giant scarves.

What's your favorite part of fall? xo

New York City hammock

Alex and I were riding bikes around town, when we passed this guy Philippe relaxing in a hammock. Intrigued, we pedaled over and asked him where he found it. "Eastern Mountain Sports for $20," he said and explained that he simply ties it to two trees anywhere around the city. "I've been called a lazy bum, but I love it." What a genius idea!

Bicycle flask

This beautiful bike is not only handmade from rare and vintage parts, it also has a hidden flask. Genius.

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my dad (far right). Whenever I think of hanging out with my dad, I think of hilarious moments. For example, when we went on family road trips, we kids would always have our noses buried in books, so whenever we'd drive by something beautiful, he'd simply yell, "View!" He also taught us the genius of big family lunches (with spicy soups) and adventurous bike rides. I love you. xo

P.S. Is my dad's wavy hair not totally rad?
P.P.S. Is my uncle wearing a top hat?
P. P.P.S. Is my grandfather wearing Groucho Marx glasses? (If so, awesome. If not, even awesomer.)Source URL: https://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/search/label/bikes

Paris

In nine days, Alex and I will be taking a much anticipated trip to...PARIS!!! I'm so excited! I can't wait to walk around the city and take notes on gorgeous French style. We're taking a dorky but awesome-looking bike tour, and we've both been dreaming about croissants and chocolate mousse. Also, I'd love to have a picnic in the Luxembourg Gardens, and Alex wants us to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower, even though I'm scared of elevators. We'll be printing out Jordan's awesome guide, and I will take tons of photos to show you!
So, I'm feeling the urge to buy clothes for the trip (do you ever get that, too?), so while I haven't bought anything for ages, yesterday I splurged on these white jeans. I like that the style is called "matchstick."

Bike love

Do you ever see a sweet bike on the street and wish you could tell the owner how much you like it? (Alex and I are constantly oohing-and-ahhing over Danish numbers; and I bike-stalked this tandem for ages until I finally met the adorable owners.)

So how genius are these bike tags? You can stick them on your favorite bikes all over town and share your bike love!

Chalkboard bikes

Sharon Montrose, the animal photographer, came home from the gym last week to discover that her husband had sketched bicycles all over their chalkboard. Awesome, right? I wish it were a poster!Source URL: https://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/search/label/bikes

Your very own bike lane

What to do if there's no bike lane? Bring one with you! The LightLane shines in the shape of a bike lane, so cars can clearly where you're riding. Genius.
