Cycling & Shopping

Relaxed Sunday Cycle-Chic:

 *Misfits T-shirt: Urban Outfitters

Me and The Boy headed out on our bikes for the day – I took him (yes – I actually lead the way!) to Columbia Road to meet up with Tyla for lunch and shopping – which was a 1st as I’ve never carried more than my Handbag, Camera and Lock in Frankie’s basket! Although I still need to sort out Panniers for the bike, getting stuff home in the basket was fine – especially when you encounter thoughtful shop owners. I bought a new top and a pair of Vivienne Westwood / Melissa Shoes from Marcos & Trump (which will make an appearance in my Cycle-Chic). The lovely lady who served me clocked my cycle helmet attached to my bag, and without asking, took the shoes out of the box and wrapped them in a shoe-bag for me and just said “for the journey, OK?” I liked this 🙂

Sunday mornings on Columbia Road are always a lively & pretty affair – and not just because of the flower stalls…

… you can easily get something nice to eat – like cakes in a hodge-podge Vintage Shop that has a crazy tea-room in the back…

… and be entertained by live music on the street!

Cycling on a Sunday is always a good thing 🙂
