Allergies in Spring are the WORST.
The internet keeps telling me to get outdoors and get active in spring and to that I say, "No. Go away". Why you ask? Well because I have horrendously bad allergies and let me tell you first hand a sneezing fit with itchy watery eyes is not fun, let alone when you get one on your bike. I can barely get outside before I get an attack, let alone in Kings Park amongst the Wildflowers! I am sorry, I just cannot enjoy you spring, you make me not want to cycle, but given the name of this whole challenge, I am forced to ignore you and try anyway.
Yesterday I saw the lovely Felicity get on her bike and roll off to an art gallery. I think that's something I am loving about this challenge. Seeing people use their bikes for everything and seeing them do it in really cool clothes. She rode in when I did this morning and looked stunning again, I would have taken photos of this, but then the whole blog would have been about her.
Another person I saw being very daper this week was my young man in a suit on his bike. I wish I had photos of that, it was very Don Draper, except I think Don Draper wouldn't ride a bike. But he should, he'd turn heads. I just did a quick search and apparently Jon Hamm does triathlon's as well, so maybe Don Draper DOES ride a bike, I just cannot find a picture. At anyrate, the internet also tells me there are people in Britain who ride with Don Draper's style. I saw pictures of that. It's good.
Speaking of style, I have been waiting all night to post today's Star Cycle Pin Up Lady. Jo tells me that kids are supposed to ride bikes, and to that I say, yes Jo, but kids don't normally do it in style. Yesterday Anneke drew my attention to something, something great that turned into something fantastic. Everyone knows Will Smith is cool. Like super cool. The thing no body realised was that his daughter Willow is super cool too. Willow is apparently about 7 or 8 and as Anneke says, she doesn't normally condone children dressing older than their age, but this little ladies style is awesome. I hunted and discovered an adorable picture of Willow in Cookie magazine riding her bike in front of her mother Jada, in the COOLEST tights and hip hop style clothes. It makes me happy.

I have hoola hooping tonight and I would ride there if I could just work out how to safely ride whilst also carrying hoola hoops. Hmmmm...
