Please meet Buttercup. Isn't she a looker? I found her on Craig's. Born in February, 1974, she's an Aquarius like me. As such, she may be quirky but she gets the job done.

P.S. This picture is from eBay, where a number of Breezes are for sale.

SNAKE BIKE LOCK from Pylones

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

I pity the fool who tries to steal sweet little Buttercup when she's locked to a bike rack with this viscious python lock.

Get this: the key is painted so when you put it in the snake's mouth to open the lock, it forms the TONGUE! Genius.

Lift Off Basket for Multi Speed Bicycles

Description

I really wanted a wicker bike basket but this one won out because it's removable, it has a handle and it's big enough for my laptop. Mine's white so it still looks pretty cute with my yellow bike.

Pyramid Pro Bungie Cargo Net for Bicycle Racks

Description

Keeps my laptop and my le Dix from bouncing out of my basket and onto the sidewalk, certain to land in the direct path of my tires... and land me at the Genuis Bar trying to explain my decidedly non-genius move of riding my bike over my laptop.

Bullet Headlight with Visor Chrome Bicycle Light

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

You can't go putting any old plastic light on your vintage bike. Also, you can get a ticket, at least in LA, for not having a light on your bike. Best to throw down the Franklin and avoid being "that biker" who's been pulled over on her commute home. Trust me on this one.

Vanilla Bicycles _ hand crafted in portland, oregon

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

A reincarnation of the lovely Schwinn Breeze, improved because of the addition of all the engineering/component knowledge gained over the last 30 years and also because, ya know, it isn't going to rust up in a month because it's not 30 years old.

A dangerous discovery, for sure, because my dear friend "buttercup," a 1974 yellow Schwinn Breeze was just stolen yesterday from in front of our office. Jerks.

These guys are upwards of $2,000. So, though worth every penny (they're true craftsman bikes), one should invest in a better lock than I was using. Or an attack dog.

Glamorous, bronzey bike helmet from Giro! Shiny, bronze chin strap matches lotus fleur pattern. And 20 vents make it a total air head, in the best way possible.

SE Lager Single-Speed bike

First to recommend

Description

I was thirsty, thirsty for a new ride... Something light, smooth, simple and easy on the eyes. My thirst and I sidled up to Venice's Bike Attack bike bar, ordered a single speed, they poured 49 inches of lovely SE Lager and that beaut quenched it. She quenched it good.

Perfect geometry, light for a cromo (steel) frame, and who doesn't love riding bullhorns (not this girl!). SE Lagers can be fixed or freewheel. You're going to want to rip off the goofy stickz and bar tape... But then she's as sweet as espresso on wheels. And as fast.
