A Cyclist's View is one filled with beauty and mess, growth and change. It's all about perspective as they say but somehow I believe the closer we are connected to our environment, the more we have to experience and understand our surroundings.

The day is here! A day of errands leaving the car in the garage and going by pedal power! Fashionable and adventurous as always, Nancy takes us through her sustainable shopping experience for both the fun and functional items on everyones list, all by bike of course.

Nancy shares her earned wisdom on the rules of the road with humor and candor. Sometimes you earn your experience the hard way, other times you are guided by the grace of strangers and sometimes you get a little bit of both with a touch of embarrassment thrown in for kicks.

Whether you're biking with a purpose, commuting or just out for the sheer pleasure of the ride, please, always be aware of your surroundings.
