Dutch City Bicycle by Jorg&Olif

My Dutchie friend in Vancouver recently informed me of a cool company in BC which now sells the Dutch City Bicycle. Check out their website at http://www.jorgandolif.com/. I would love to ride to the farm market on my bright orange city bike with a basket full of fresh tulips, gouda and a scrumptious baguette!!!

"The jorg&olif city bike is the real thing. When it comes to proven technology and design, this cherished Dutch classic takes the koek. It's sensible and stylish, and remains the most popular way to get around Holland. Inspired by classic design, but thoroughly in-tune with modern living, the jorg&olif city bike has been re-designed for North American cities (hint, we have hills here) without compromising the original European aesthetic. Whether it's a casual trip to the market, a smart downtown business meeting, or simply taking Spot to the park, the jorg&olif city bike looks great with just about anything."

TuLiPs - hOw i LoVe ThEe!!!!!!

Perhaps it's my dutch roots.....or perhaps my love of colour....but every year when the tulips finally make their way out of the ground I get really excited and inspired. This year in celebration of the lovely bulbs and of course my longing to go back to the Netherlands, I plan to hang a pair of crazy polka dotted wooden shoes filled with plants on my front door. This was a sight that I came across quite frequently on my travels to the liberal lands of the Dutchies!!
