Accessories

I admit that I am a woman who likes accessories.  I go for squared-toed shoes, fun eyeglasses, cool bags, leather cuffs, and my brand-new awesome fedora.

I recently noticed that my love for accessories seems to have spilled over to our bikes....

So love the Nutcase watermelon helmet.
Our front rack on the Yuba carries 28 books home from the library.
One boy. Three bikes.
F wanted his rainbow umbrella instead of the bakfiet's rain cover.
S's orange hair stripe peeks out from beneath his helmet. Is an orange racing hair stripe considered an accessory?
Now ALL our bikes are sportin' the ZeroPerGallon stickers!
Don't we all aspire to a little flair? This fella's helmet feather suits him perfectly.

Love the feather. Love that kid. He's an original.

I'd love to see your rainbow-umbrella'd, watermellon-helmeted, feather-adorned crew pedal down my street!

how'd the umbrella work while moving? I let the kids hold a parasol once and it was whipped from their hands and into the street. Luckily it was quiet at that point and I got it unharmed. but I haven't tried that again even though I thought the parasol would provide some sunshield without making them hot and closed up.....

also where did you get the little orange bike pin. It's for some cause no? I want one so badly.

@MamaVee--It wasn't raining hard nor was there any wind so the umbrella worked fine just riding around the corner to the store and back. The pin came from a Bike To Work event-- not particularly sturdy, bu cute.

We love seeing your accessories, too! And, O especially loves the watermelon nutcase! The other morning he wore it with a red glitter eye mask while scootering up and down our street. It put big silly grins on the commuters zipping past our house.

@Mary-- We all need to see a photo of O with the sparkle eye mask & watermelon helmet!
