BICYCLING IN SUMMER

When ever the summer comes I find it a great time to head out on the bicycle , especially if by a lake.

That is one of my most favourite things to do when on holidays.

The image is exactly how I would load up the bike to head to the beach.

I even packed along a cooler bag with food to eat.

A day spent at the beach was the ultimate!

So now I am thinking to do the same , but here in the city.

Since the pandemic cities have started to open up and some are planning new things like more bicycle lanes in the congested cities.

Paris and London are just a few places that have started with it.

Hurray cleaner air with less cars is a super idea.

There are many parts of the city with bicycle lanes, which for me

was a big surprise. The idea being able to bike around the city without to many cars in the way is ideal. I even have a bike map which is handy and of course I bought a bike.

Finding the right size bike for you is important.

Then the safety part of proper reflectors, a lamp, and helmut, plus any other accessories.

MY NEW( old) BIKE

Another option are electric bikes, that are becoming very popular

E-scooters, E-bikes or a folding bike. They are handy if you live in

a small place or want to put in the trunk of car.

HOW to dress for a CASUAL bike ride.

firstly the right thing to wear, something comfortable

or right for the weather be it shorts, jeans, a skirt

whatever you find comfortable.

My ideal summer outfit is

a nice pair of light slacks and a loose top.

Are you a bike fan??

What are some of your adventures or favourites things

to do in summer??

Happy cycling & summer everyone.

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of? Okay maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars gorgeous , flawless and h

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

SOMETHING DIFFERENT I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui , I was in AWE. Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top that I wear as a coverup) This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for summer.
