Life on two wheels. 

EcoSalon reader Kristin Bott rocks a sundress at the Portland Short Track Series.

As she puts it, “It rains for nine months of the year in Portland. Not an exaggeration. So when summer comes, the whole city celebrates. Every year, the folks behind the Portland Short Track Series  have a ‘summer casual night’ when they encourage racers to ‘Leave the lycra at home and come race in your Monday best’- casual threads: oversized surf trunks, colorful skirts, double-rainbow tie dye tees, knitted socks… anything goes. I lack tie-dyes and surf trunks, but I do have a couple of sundresses, and I rarely wear skirts, but it seemed a good fit.”

Best friends Amanda Coen and Kestrel Jenkins on their bikes, awaiting the ferry’s arrival to take them to the Annual Polo Match on Governor’s Island. They happened to see Bill Cunningham just after this photo was taken. Amanda asked him if she could snap a shot of him and he obliged. Kestrel’s jaw was practically hitting the pavement in awe and after Cunningham snapped his own photo of her.

With 95 miles of bike lanes, Warsaw is full of life on two wheels. The wide Soviet-style streets make for plenty of room for cars and bicycles, and you don’t have to stand on a street corner long before seeing someone ride by. In 2011 the city even hosted the Cycle Messenger World Championships.

Despite a sometimes complicated system of lanes and rough terrain, bicycles are just as much a part of everyday life here as they are in other European cities.

From her local co-op volunteer stint in Brooklyn, to her job as an attorney, Allison Bowles gracefully balances life on two wheels.  Her bike, a pass down from her aunt (we love bike sharing) has given Bowles new perspective.

“Biking to and from work has been incredibly invigorating in a way that I could not have imagined. Not only do I appreciate the chance to be above ground (out of the subway) for a change, but the freedom to take different routes and see NYC in a different way has been refreshing. And biking is the easiest way to get around Brooklyn.”

A bike and shoe combination spotted in Portland, Oregon reminded us of this quote:

“The bicycle is just as good company as most husbands and, when it gets old and shabby, a woman can dispose of it and get a new one without shocking the entire community.” –Ann Strong, quoted in the Minneapolis Tribune in 1895.
