Weekly Wears: A Bicycle Built For Two

Well, we bought another tandem bicycle.  This one feels easier to ride (meaning it's a little shorter and it's wheels are a little fatter) and it's in much better cosmetic shape.  Basically, we couldn't pass it up.  Johnny and I picked it up from a neighbor friend on Sunday and I have not stopped thinking about it since.  I don't know if you've noticed, but I have a bit of an obsessive personality.  Hope mustered up all of her braveness this evening and I took her out for a ride.  The only thing better than an evening bike ride is doing it with a partner!

Dress: c/o ModCloth;  Tank: Marshall's;  Shoes: c/o Ann Roth;  Hair Combs: vintage (garage sale find-- woohoo!); Necklace: gift
I'm looking forward to putting in some time and elbow grease to really clean it up and make it shine... oh, and maybe riding on a date or two.  :))

    This is so cute. I don't know how to ride a bike, but this makes me want to learn, and your outfit is so sweet.

    Tandems look so fun! Especially with not much traffic around!

    Wow I have never actually seen a tandem bike in real life I think, this one looks so beautiful and you make it sound a lot of fun, though!

    Tandem bikes are the best! I bought a tandem bike as a present for my boyfriends birthday last year; we love cycling on it together and going for pick nicks and adventures!

    Love the pinafore with the turquoise tank :) Oh! and that tandem bike is wonderful. I've never tried the tandem, a stroll with "my partner in crime :P" sounds very nice; I definitely must try!

    I love this bicycle so much! My husband has just built me my own bmx for the summer, tempted to ask him to make a tandem!

    Your outfit is adorable (as usual). And you are brave to ride a bike in a skirt!

    I'm always surprised what a work out I get from riding my bike. I guess I don't use those muscles often in every day life :)

    You look a little bit like Kate Mara (from happy thank you more please) in these pictures! I love the dress.
    I have been trying to get my boyfriend to get one with me for quite some time. He is very opposed... what a shame
