Bike rush hour

My sister sent me this video of bike rush hour in the Netherlands, where more than a third of the people commute by bike! Awesome.

Belly shots

Last night, my brother and I went for a bike ride, and I roped him into taking a few belly shots. I'm just over 33 weeks (about 7 1/2 months), and I'm so excited to see our baby boy's teeny face in less than two months! I'm so curious about what he'll look like (and if he'll still resemble a Dr. Seuss character). I have to admit, though, I'm getting a little nervous about the actual birth. I alternate between being super calm and being slightly panicky. It makes me feel better that so many mothers have done it before. When I walk around New York, I catch myself staring at strangers and thinking, "You were born, and you were born, and you were born."

Anyway, thank you, as always, for following along! It's such a pleasure to share everything with you. xo

P.S. Past belly shots.

(Big thanks to Nick for taking the photos. The navy shirt is from Gap Maternity.)

Tandem tee

This tandem T-shirt is cute (and true). I'm too pale and British to wear red, but someone should get this. :)

Almost spring

It's 43 degrees and sunny today, and it finally feels like spring is around the corner! I'm going to sneak away for a quick bike ride. Yippee!!!

My bike helmet

I used to ride around Manhattan without a helmet (busted), but then Alex bought me this Bern version, and I fell in love with it. The shape is more like a skateboarding or ski helmet than a traditional bike one, and it's super comfy and doesn't make your head too hot. (It also looks cute with red lipstick.)

Manhattan bikes

This weekend, for our YSL project, my friend Anna Wolf and I did a little photo shoot of New Yorkers on their bikes. It was really fun to bring together so many cute cyclists (including two-year-old Ada, above). See many more photos here.

Bike rides

How cute are these photos of Kendra and Stella on an evening ride in upper Manhattan? They look like they could be in the country.

Paris bikes

The Sartorialist took this street-style photo of two cuties riding bikes in Paris, but isn't that Adrian Grenier? (The Sartorialist's 333 comments seemed to think so.) My mom loves Entourage and always says Vince is "unflappable."
