Bike to Work



Today is National Bike to Work day. The whole week has involed a greater awareness of the wonders biking can do for our earth, our bodies and our minds. Of course being a HUGE cyclist myself I can't help but be drawn to any kind of bike art. We have 4 pieces of artwork displayed featuring bicycles and we have one waiting for a frame. This image is from artist Darrell Hill called "Retro Bikes". Signore Greve himself came from a wonderful biking journey Steve and I made through Italy. Creativity comes easier on a bike ( see blog Pondering and Pedaling). Freed from the roar of traffic and frustration of red lights ideas and images come easier.

I am embarking on a huge project. A project that I have to confess has me a bit overwhelmed. Signore Greve is soon to become his own children's book. I have done the boring work, pricing cost, shipping solutions etc. Now is the time to nail down the story line and get painting. I hope to have the finished product this time next year. Bike to work day will also include my book showing Greve and Celli enjoying the wonders of this world on his bike.
I hope you were able to enjoy some pedal power today. If not, be sure to make a goal to see the your part of the world from a bike seat. Your mind will thank you.
