Anything to do with the fact that one of them is Canadian, what do you think? ;-)</p> <p>@Carole, I was just discussing helmets with Mr O. About 5-10% people here only wear them, apart from the kids. It really is cycling-friendly place.<br /> Thanks for your concern though, I completely take it on board and plan to buy a helmet to have it at least on stand by.</p> <p>Looking at the photos, it just dawned on me that my once sleek bob now looks huge, courtesy of misty morning and cycling. Plus, after only trimming the ends a couple of weeks ago, I'm still auditioning locals for my new permanent stylist </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-let-the-cycling-begin#post-727562 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:03:41 +0000 JR 727562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very nice, Ornella, very nice indeed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-let-the-cycling-begin#post-727515 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 16:17:50 +0000 Angie 727515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cycle Chic, baby!</p> <p>SYN is a great analogy </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-let-the-cycling-begin#post-727419 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:34:14 +0000 Carole 727419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So good to see you, Ornella! You and your outfit look killer on your bike. That is one gorgeous shade of rose and I see you have the half tuck mastered. It sounds like a wonderful lifestyle in Germany. Be careful, though. Do they wear helmets for safety? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-let-the-cycling-begin#post-727418 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:33:58 +0000 Lisa 727418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Awesome gift of a bike and wonderful outfit! I wish my area would cater to cycling more often than just in the parks. It's a great way to stay in shape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-let-the-cycling-begin#post-727390 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:04:56 +0000 ramya 727390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love :)...

Gorgeous cycling outfit! Love that sweater and the semi-tuck on you - pure genius. And only you could make Mary Janes look SUPER fashion forward. Your legs are a thousand miles long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-let-the-cycling-begin#post-727362 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:24:54 +0000 Anonymous 727362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic! I'm so happy to see you posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-let-the-cycling-begin#post-727356 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:16:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 727356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is one chic cycling outfit Ornella - I love the colour of your sweater on you and you wear scarves so well. How sweet for your new friends to offer their bike! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-let-the-cycling-begin#post-727347 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 13:05:47 +0000 Ornella 727347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><strong><em>~ Another one in what's becoming a series of "Greetings from Germany" posts :-)</em></strong></p> <p>My plan to get a bike after we return from our holiday became reality a lot sooner than expected! Yesterday, a family we met at the playground and have already gotten very friendly with had offered me their spare, old bike so I can have time to look for a more suitable one without any pressures or time constraints. How great is that :-)</p> <p>And since this is the most bike-friendly place on Earth, or at least I think so, even though to start with I was a bit hesitant to cycle amongst cars and traffic in general, I have spent a whole day today cycling around, happy with my new-found mobility and freedom. Not to mention fitness benefits...</p> <p>Anyway, this calls for the whole new style challenges, and I think my generous collection of scarves will be very, very useful.</p> <p>As it was a mild autumn day today, I only needed few layers, namely long-sleeved tee and new* oversized hot pink sweater, scarf for warmth and some pattern mixing (with tee's stripes), big silver bracelet to add a bit more pizzazz, skinnies (of course) and my new** buttery-soft ultra-comfortable flat Mary Janes.</p> <p><strong><em>* and ** </em></strong>- yes, I know I've said I'll be on SYC until the end of this year, but the reality is that it's turning into SYN (Shop Your Needs) because I'm discovering more wardrobes holes as I'm heading into my first continental A/W after a long time while leading completely different lifestyle than before. More about that in separate post. </p>
