I Got Me Some Wheels.

Check out the sweet little bike I got from my parents for my birthday! My brother completed it with an amazing Nantucket basket for the front for which my sister-in-law made a liner out of one of my favorite prints (Braemore’s Flowering Branch- very reminiscent of Clarence House’s  Flowering Quince)! How stylin’ am I? Now I have to just get a lock and helmet so I can ride in through the city without killing myself or having it stolen!

    What a great gift! That’s a beautiful bike – what kind of bike is it? I could so trade my sporty model in for something more girly and chic.

  15. What thoughtful gifts! And thanks for the Flowering Branch tip. I don’t think you can’t get Flowering Quince anywhere any longer :( This is a great sub.

    Do they make helmets and locks as cute as your bike? I’m sure if anyone can find them, it’d be you! Good luck!

    Adorable! A good lookin’ beach cruiser fixes everything, happy belated birthday! Hope it was a great one! *Amy

    What a cool birthday present! Very stylish!

  19. Tammy says:

    I *love* it – I’ve been wanting one so bad. Tweet me @floridagirlindc and tell me how hard it is to bike in the city. That’s the barrier that’s holding me up from buying one.

  20. Abby says:

    Ahh..I just bought that same bike this weekend in white! The leather stitch details on the handles sent me over the edge. I love mine! Hope you have as much fun riding yours!

  21. Kate says:

    Soooo cute! I really want a bike too, but am afraid of the crazy boston drivers! (plus I can’t find a fashionable helmet — major dilemma)

  22. Beautiful Bike! Very stylish! Be like the fashionable french ladies- you don’t need a helmet;)
    Please don’t leave that stunning basket on it when you lock it up on the street – it is sooo lovely it is bound to be snatched up by some passerby. That would be sadness:(

  23. I love girlie bikes! My girlfriend and I bought some together last a couple of years ago! Fun!

  24. Holly Craig says:

    That is the most gorgeous bike ever! I have never seen a Nantucket basket on a bike before and I am from the Cape….so fabulous!! Love the basket liner too!

  25. Ceci says:

    That is one of the coolest bikes I have EVER seen! YAY! xoxo

  26. not sure how much biking you plan on doing, but having just biked 192 miles for the pan mass challange, might i suggest a lovely product to help get you aquainted to your new saddle? It’s called hoo ha ride glide. :) With a name like that, how can you not check it out? http://reflectsports.com/anti-chafing-skin-cream Rubber side down girl!

    What a beauty! Happy trails to you…

  28. Lone says:

    Cool bike :) Happy belated bday…

  29. Great bike. My husband gave me a road bike for my b’day as well and i started doing more road biking than mountain biking. I yhink NYC street would quality as off road condition…wouldn’t you agree? francine

  30. Jennifer says:

    Love the bike! I’ve always wanted a city-bike myself…although I doubt it will ever be that cute. Happy Bday!

  31. ryan says:

    cute bike, happy birthday!

  32. What a sweet ride! Potential thiefs- you better back off:)

    Check out BERN helmets (Bernunlimited.com) They are the ONLY head protection hip and stylish enough to be paired with your bicycle!

  34. Heather says:

    I love that bike! It is so cute.

  35. Tessa says:

    hi Erin! love your blog, been a reader for a couple years. i love my bike and ride it everywhere, but i need a new one with more than 1 speed. i adore the one you got from your parents. do you mind sharing the brand? thanks so much! :)
    Tessa

  36. It’s beautiful!

    I second Eileen’s recommendation of Bern helmets; I have one and love it, it was such a good choice.

    Don’t try to save money when buying a lock! It’s well worth the cost of a good Kryptonite u-lock to be sure you’ll have that sweet ride for a long time :)

    Love the bike – love the basket – lucky girl!
