I've been on a sort of hiatus, but I think I've got it in gear now (no pun intended). I've updated the Etsy shop with 13 fresh BB's. It's Spring, your bike wants to go have some fun so you might as well get it a new accessory to boot.
Enjoy responsibly.

What a year it has been...and is.
This year has been chock full of ups and downs, mostly downs. I went on a 3 and a half month hiatus of riding my bike to work. I have no excuses, I was just consumed by the convenience of having a car again and sort of forgot that riding to work may take a little longer, but is far more entertaining and less stressful to boot.
I'm more motivated than I have been in a long time, and with that, I almost want to reward myself and/or motivate myself even more by maybe investing in a new ride and some stylish knickers.
I'm currently commuting on my Surly Long Haul Trucker. I love my Surly (aka Bessie), but I think for commuting, it's almost too much bike for me. My 3 mile commute to work is flat...no hills at all, nothing. 27 gears is a lot to lug around, especially when I only use 2 of them...maybe 3 if there's a breeze.
So right now I'm considering this:
It's the Nirve Fairfax. My LBS has one in stock and I've ridden it around a little and I LOVE it. It's comfortable, fun, stylish and just a very nice ride. Count me in. It also has that wonderful dynamo hub on the front which powers the headlight and the tailight. Only 8 gears to choose from and they're all internal...which keeps the bike looking simple and sleek to boot. Ah man, so great!
Aside from a new bike to get me motivated, I've also found some really nice commuting apparel. My boyfriend has had his Chrome Knickers for years now and they're still holding strong, I had even considered getting a pair of them until I saw that Chrome came out with the Vanya Knickers for women! They look fantastic, feminine and comfortable.
At $120, they're a little out of my price range, but I'm hoping that when I'm in Vegas for Interbike, I may be able to score a pair or two at a relatively inexpensive price. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
These are only a couple of the many things that are keeping me motivated as of late and I cannot wait to get my hands on them! Ahhh! Patience is a virtue.

Featured and Flattered!
Today the Bike Burrito is featured on Sweet Greens, a great blog with lots of goodies to check out. I'm so thrilled!
"Does your guy love to ride his bike? Why not stuff his sock with a Medium Bike Burrito from Bike Burrito. A Bike Burrito is a funky twist on the classic bike tool kit. It is designed to carry all of his essentials in style. This would be perfect for Mr. Sweet Greens, he loves to ride his bike to work."
I'll be working my butt off this weekend so I can get some new things in the Etsy Shop before the holidays. Keep an eye out!

Wanted: Bike Burrito Thief!
A customer (and fellow LCI) of mine had his Bike Burrito stolen, right off of his bike!
Stealing is bad...don't do it!

In memory of Ron's BB, you will be missed.
Image above is not actually Ron's Burrito, but one very similar.
