It’s a beautiful place to ride

By Anna | 4 Comments »

I love riding around my new home:

1. My commute is about a mile of completely flat terrain – my building is freezing so when riding home I don’t break a sweat even though it’s 100 degrees. Amazing.
2. Very little traffic – my building is small and the only residential unit on the block in an area void of much life. I rarely worry about cars flying by or not giving me room. If they are there, it’s for a reason. I used to not like living in such a solitary area, but now I relish my time of solitude,and it’s still just a few blocks of easy road to my favorite places.
3. The industrial wasteland is strangely beautiful – I see photographers and videographers around my street all the time. I saw my friend Seth of Green Block Productions filming a guy walking down the street with a guitar yesterday!

    Great pictures! Are they hipstamatic? The quiet and somewhat derelict nature of the neighborhood is quite beautiful. And you can’t beat all that green. How are you liking your Soma mixte?

    Yep, Hipstamatic. The area is green (in a wild, unkempt sort of way), but the hipstamatic filter really pumps it up into fantasy land!
