Hi there. You may have noticed that things have been a little quite over in these parts. The past few months have been kind of hectic – leaving me little time to sit and indulge in blogging and other personal projects. I’ll be honest – it’s been a bummer not having the creative outlet which this blog has provided me over the years. On a more positive note I’m happy to announce that I’ve decided to shift the focus of my blog to cover a broader range of topics. It’s something that I’ve been wanting to do for some time now – and now that I’m settled into a more permanent place in life I’m ready to go for it! So here is the link to my new blog/project A Little Bit of Evarything .

Hope to see you there!

SMMoA <3 Bikes X Cycle Chic Sundays this Sunday , March 27th

eva — Sat, 26 Mar 2011 00:00:52 +0000

It’s been pretty quiet here on the blog for a good reason. Over the past month I’ve been working closely with the amazing (and bike loving) director of education over at the Santa Monica Museum of Art to plan a artilicious cycle extravaganza! After dodging rain-filled weekends we are finally ready to roll this Sunday! All of the event info can be found on the facebook event page here and on the SMMoA.org event calendar.

EDIT: Event was postponed due to ugly nasty weather. New date and event info TBA soon!

Last weekend I got a special tour of the current exhibit and took a test ride of the route …

Special Stop #2

The following is a neat map I drew up of the ride route. If you are planning on coming be sure to check out the map before hand (mostly just to see how insanely cool this ride is going to be :-) )

I just received this thoughtful thank you note in the mail and immediately put it up on my pinboard. It will be a daily reminder to me that even though I am not able to get on my bike everyday that it will always be there and will always be fun.

Inspiration Vol.02

A few weekends ago I was turned onto the Inspiration trade show. Founded by Rin Tanaka ( the man behind the My Freedamn! series ) the trade show was indeed packed full of vintage moto , surf and military inspiration. Seeing as I am the proud owner of a vintage car myself – this show was all the more interesting to me. Alongside the endless displays of Triumphs and impressive selection of old motorcycle boots were a few bike themed goodies. The image above depicts a board track race (click here to see these bikes in action ) Other goodies included classic Monark cruisers , printed musette bags , old bike and car magazine and even a bike lane necklace. And since I’m still a surfer at heart there were plenty of boards , wetsuits , and art to check out.

It was nice to get a little jolt of inspiration and explore the world outside of the bike industry. You can see a neat video recap of the event on their website here.

This show really piqued my interest in life and inspiration outside of the bike world. It may or may not shape the future of this blog ..
