Ride On, Sugar Skulls... Ride On.

"Nothing compares to the simple pleasure of a bike ride" - John F. Kennedy

Who doesn't want the perfect fun summer beach cruiser?

Well, I have found the most amazing collection of ART. Wait, I mean of BIKES! Just look at Electra Bikes, Amsterdam, Girard 3i, La Fonda Del Sol! And yes, that is the Scandinavian artist, Alexander Girardi! Isn't this so fun? His designs are perfect on these bikes. I almost jumped out of my skin when if first saw them....

Is this for REAL? The whimsical folk art designs are simple, but bursting with imagination, color, and creativity. They all make me feel like I'm in a candy store, except that this candy store just might make me loose some pounds! So which one will I buy? Well I spent the day at MIKES BIKES.... and now I know!

As much as I LOVE the orange and blue Madonna girls...

Details, details, details (and butterflies too)!

And as much as I worship the pink and green rose detail on this back wheel cover...

And I will never get past Girard's Black Tree of Life..................

Isn't she wonderful?

And do you think I got excited when I saw this peacock design? I could play all day and feel like a kid forever on every one of these bikes...

Oh, and I covet the grey and purple polka dots. I love the design and the color combination, but................The winner is...

"SUGAR SKULLS!" I have thought long and hard, and this is indeed the one.

This guy is tough but feminine. I love the combination of the black bike with the green tires, too. The whole thing is slightly bohemian and sweet, while still feeling like the meanest bike on the road. The embroidered seat and the tassels make it fun, too. And there is just something about that sugar skull! I love, it no question, this is the one for me.

I really cannot get over the attention to small detail on these wonderful bikes..........

So...... Ride on, red hot mama!
