Healthy happy you.
I have become obsessed with a bike Sarah Michelle Gellar has been photographed with recently. Not only is it an urban/cruiser bike, it's hot pink! The basket full of fresh looking veggies stole my heart too. Oh how I could picture myself riding to the farmers' market on this bike, with those veggies, in those heels... Wait, scratch the part about the heels, while they are cute, I prefer more Read more
As the days grow longer and we eagerly await the arrival of warm Summer nights, many of you will be embracing this season by moving your workouts outside. For some that means taking your runs from the treadmill to the streets, or getting out your outdoor activity gear — which may include tennis rackets, rollerblades, or bicycles. Biking is a great way to burn calories, enjoy the outdoors, and Read more
If you haven't added a play table to your toy collection, we highly recommend it! A combo of activities means extra playtime for kids of all ages, and when you invest in a slightly more expensive, but doubly sturdy wooden table, even cruisers can join in on the fun, as the table gives new standers support while they explore. Just be sure to supervise, as small pieces have a way of making their Read more
Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard hopped on the back of two beach cruisers and took to the streets of LA on Saturday. The pair rode around town and stopped for an occasional kiss. Kristen's back from a recent trip to South Africa, where she swam with sharks, and is gearing up for the Jan. 8 premiere of her new Showtime series, House of Lies. Her schedule is jam-packed with projects in the new year; in Read more
I love unexpected pairings, like dolman sleeves and hoodies. The first has a dressed-up connotation, the other laid-back. This FP Beach Cruiser Dolman-Sleeve Zip-Up Hoodie ($48, originally $68) is something worth investing in, because it will come in handy when you seek comfort sans frump. You can throw it on over virtually anything and it will instantly lend a sporty-chic motif to your Read more
AnnaLynne McCord wore a strapless white bikini, Prada shades, and ballet slippers as she hopped on her beach cruiser in LA yesterday. The 90210 star was off duty during her afternoon in the sun, but she frequently dons a two-piece on the set of her CW show, as well. The series has been taping for much of the Summer, and AnnaLynne has shot several beachside scenes in her swimsuit. Off the set, she Read more
I love a beach vacay, but after two days of lounging on the sand I am itching to move. Many beach towns have bike shops that rent to tourists, but I give the beautiful (and heavy) cruisers a pass and rent a road bike — at some stores you can arrange a rental for an entire week. Almost as important as packing your cycling shorts (riding with a chamois keeps everyone happy) is to bring your Read more
Bike tires are a complex science unto themselves — I've heard people say, "It's not about the bike; it's about the tires." When it comes to filling your bicycle tires, you need to know about the two kinds of valves out there: the tall and skinny Presta valve and the more utilitarian Schrader valve, which you probably had on your first bike way back when. The Presta valve, sometimes referred to Read more
Flipping through the latest issue of Bicycling Magazine, you learn the cyclists suffering through the Tour de France are riding some seriously pricey bikes. Just the frame and fork of the fancy Giant road bike for team Rabobank prices out to around $3000. But you don't have to drop so much dough to get a sweet ride by Giant. The company loaned me its new Escape 1-W ($500) for tooling about town, Read more
