Bike Bangle

Happy Holidays!
Besides gaining a few pounds from all the Christmas cookies and food that is surrounding me, I have also been fortunate to receive a few wonderful gifts this year - and one in particular that I wanted to share. With my obsession of bikes and interest in eco-friendly, recycled goods - this gift was one of my favorites. A set of Spoke Bangle Bracelets from Re-Cycled Accessories (www.recycledacc.com). Get it? Re-Cycle?? Their motto is "Bike Jewelry made by Cyclists for Cyclists." That's right. Bangle bracelets made from recylced bicycle spokes. Brilliant!

Skiers Choice

Well, with all the snow we've been getting out here in Colorado, I can't help but get excited about the ski season and, even more so, get excited about the new skis I bought! However, my beautiful new skis are sitting in the corner of my room naked without bindings. After some research, I decided to go with the new Axl telemark bindings from 22Designs. A little late in production, these bindings are just starting to hit the shelves - but the wait will be well worth it. Having the stability of the Hammerheads and a free-pivot touring option, I have high hopes that these award winning bindings will give me the confidence and flexibility to be the tele-betty I strive to be both in and out of bounds!
