Laura rides a custom re-build mixte frame from Lugs

Sometimes I diligently write down someone's email, and then I just can't find it.  That is what happened with this young lady, but [hopefully] I remembered a few details correctly—  
#1 her bike is a custom rebuild from Lugs.  I'm convinced the folks over a lugs are as interested in people looking good on bikes as I am, so mad props!  I'll be hitting them up when I can throw down some cash for a custom rebuild. 
# 2. Her name was Laura and she was headed north.

Sorry for loosing your email Laura.  Please comment if you see this and have anything to add.

*** Side note: There is cause for celebration today— Chicago is getting a protected bike lane near my office!  I have been patiently watching the construction of the Dearborn protected bike lane and I'm excited to go for a test ride.  I'll be spending lunch here so come by and celebrate!

When: Friday, December 14 at 1:00 p.m.
Where: Printer’s Row Park, 700 S. Dearborn St.

Where are you going?  Heading home from friend's place after a feast filled weekend.
Tell me more about your bike, and where you got it?  My bike is a black Winsor Clockwork. I taped the make and model to deter theft, and I switched to straight handlebars with blue hand grips. All purchased online

What are you wearing? I am wearing a mini dress from thrift store underneath with a splash painting leggings from the UK. A checkered jacket and leather boots purchased online.

Why ride?  Riding gives me a sense of freedom and also my means of getting around.
Favorite ride?  Love riding during the night when the streets are empty and silence is my only companion.
While riding you …?  While riding I am zoned out and immersed in my senses.
How can Chicago improve bike infrastructure or make Chicago more bike friendly?  Chicago needs more safe and well paved bike lanes scattered throughout this city.

Lara rides a green Schwinn cruiser

I ran into Laura on my way to work.  I love her cute little green cruiser.  It make me long for a bike that has matching fenders and a chain guard! 

We are lucky to live in a city that used to have a Schwinn factory.  I've notice tons of really well-preserved old chicago schwinns on the bike racks lately.
