<br /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">Biking to a hot party is a prime way to spend a Friday night, but the evening gets a whole lot cooler when the entire party cruises along beside you. This Friday <a href="http://sfbikeparty.wordpress.com/">The San Francisco Bike Party</a> will throw down another installment of their monthly wild rides and everyone who likes to peddle in a pack is invited to join.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Happy, safe and playful, the SFBP is the optimistic cousin of the well-celebrated<a href="http://www.sfcriticalmass.org/"> Critical Mass</a>, a ride hosted in many cities reminding drivers to share the road with cycles. Although CM can be a social event, politics, pompous cops and irritated drivers often make the event feel heavy. On the contrary, SFBP is a straight-up party on two-wheels, with riders of all ages and skill levels celebrating their love of bikes in a easy-going fashion.</div><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-kIIGQ5B-eA8/Tl_3vasPnAI/AAAAAAAAAIA/r9pQwky3SMo/s320/bp_104.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647504851736697858" /><div style="text-align: left;">The SFBP started in January of this year and each month the co-op of organizers pre-plan a route with enticing scenery and plenty of cool rest stops, like Sunset Beach and Alamo Square. People load up racks with fat speakers and lots of extra <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/knog-beetle-head-light-pink-p-116.html">blinkies</a> for flashy decoration. <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/bags-panniers-baskets-c-21.html">Panniers</a> are surely packed with all sorts of party favors and wild accessories, ensuring everyone is prepared for each dance party pull-over. Monthly themes encourage cyclists to dress up themselves and their bikes, like August's Steampunk motif and this weekend's Ghost Town edition, playing off the fact that half of the city has temporarily moved out to the playa.</div><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 213px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xDMAPkT4qIw/Tl_36mpeXtI/AAAAAAAAAII/dhOUW9XZUGg/s320/bp_102.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647505043924868818" /><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This Friday, SFBG will roll through an assortment of neighborhoods, including swanky Cow Hollow, the jazzy Filmore and even a detour into Japan Town. Stops will include a sweet, hill-top playground and a super-secret surprise at the Golden-Gate-facing Crissy Field. The party will officially put down the kickstand under the Arrow at the Embarcadero but the party don't stop just because the wheels stop turning. </div><div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Not from San Francisco? Start your own bike party and make sure to send us photos.</div><div style="text-align: left;">

<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Big smiles, sexy couples, fresh fashion and shiny rides hit the pavement, rolling past the paparazzi and pleasing the crowds of adoring fans at bay.

<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">This summer's heat wave has brought a handful of stars and their bicycles out and about in New York (check the adorable Kirsten Dunst pictured above) and whether they're tired of taxis, getting a little exercise or just want to feel the wind in their million-dollar locks, they and their rides, immediately take the city's center stage.</div><div style="text-align: left;">

<br /></div><div>Days are hot and sticky, but night's cool breeze and bright moon make riding in the summer an absolute must. From trips to the beach in itty bikinis and floral dresses, to BBQs in jumpers and tank tops, daylight outfits can usually transfer into evening, as long as they're topped with a light jacket to shield from the cooler temperatures you'll meet while cruising through town.</div><div>Enter the windbreaker.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div>Stores carry a large assortment of light jacket options in the spring, but when your mode of transportation depends on physical mobility, choices that are thin and light will keep your wheels turning faster. The classic windbreaker is the cycle chic's ultimate answer and thankfully brands are coming out with lady-fitting takes on the '90s style.</div><div>
<br /></div><div>The paper-thin fabrics used to make windbreakers also mean they're easy to store-- no need to worry about cramming a clunky coat in your purse or making room for a blazer alongside booze, snacks and picnic blankets in your pannier. Windbreakers don't wrinkle, meaning you can twirl it, tie it and crush it into any available space without borrowing an iron later.</div><div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div><div>The summer harvest is full of crisp veggies and sweet fruits, ripe for the shopping at your local farmer's market and the perfect excuse for a Saturday morning ride. Grabbing groceries on a bike can be tricky, especially if your hungry eyes rake in a full load, but shack up with a<a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/bags-panniers-baskets-panniers-c-21_39.html"> Kitsch Kitchen</a> pannier you can keep your hands free and your delicious finds safe.</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div>Take note from The Bicycle Muse's tips for biking to the market:</div><div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div><div><ul><li><b>Park your bike in one location</b>: Locking and unlocking is a pain. Keep it simple and central.</li><li><b>Pack a pannier</b>: The <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/bags-panniers-baskets-panniers-c-21_39.html">Kitsch Kitchen</a> panniers are a perfect way to stash all your goods in one sturdy, easy to attach/detach bag....and it's adorable. Unhook it from your bike's rack and carry it from the green bean vendor to strawberry tent. <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/bags-panniers-baskets-panniers-c-21_39.html">Check out the selection of summery floral patterns available now.</a></li></ul><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-g2FQRS6jaB8/TkRMdQH2shI/AAAAAAAAAFw/qyLgcftX1Rg/s320/DSC_1090.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639716698802532882" /></div><ul><li><b>Pack lightly</b>: The <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/bags-panniers-baskets-panniers-c-21_39.html">Kitsch Kitchen</a> will amaze with how many items can fit happily inside, but don't get pushy. While it's tempting to buy everything in sight, don't cram your pannier with an oversized load or you'll end up with squished, bruised and leaky bits.</li></ul></div><div><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dNHnUaNnEds/TkRLj2lcAKI/AAAAAAAAAFo/oRCCvGy8Dn8/s320/DSC_1093.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639715712694747298" /></div><div><ul><li><b>Keep it close to home</b>: If you bike local, why not shop local? Buy from tents that source from farms as close to home as possible and not shipped-in from other regions.</li><li><b>Watch for sales</b>: If it's in season, the price is going to be right. The good thing about summer: a new variety of produce pops up every week. Download the<a href="http://www.getlocavore.com/"> Locavore App</a> for your phone and find out what's in season near you and what markets are carrying your craving. </li></ul></div>

When it comes to bicycle helmets, fashion usually takes a back seat to safety. But fear not cycling fashionistas! You no longer have to concede to wearing a clunky, unflattering helmet in order to protect your head. <br />
<br />
The <b><a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/helmets-c-22.html">YAKKAY helmet</a></b> is an innovative two-piece system that includes a protective bicycle helmet with a removable, interchangeable hat cover. It provides a flattering and fashionable way to stay safe while cycling. Foam pads allow you to adjust the sizing for a comfortable, secure fit, and you can swap out the hat covers in order to match your outfit or your mood!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Pick a YAKKAY Helmet to Suit Your Style</b></span><br />
<br />
The Bicycle Muse currently carries three YAKKAY helmets:<br />
<br />
<ul><li><b style="color: #741b47;"><a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/yakkay-helmet-paris-p-90.html">YAKKAY Helmet – Paris</a></b>: Features a helmet with cap style cover in herringbone or black for a chic urban look.</li>

</ul><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>YAKKAY Bike Helmets Making Headlines</b></span><br />
<br />
The unique style of the YAKKAY helmet has made it a hot item during the Fall season. It was included in a recent <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2010/09/29/fashion/0930-Bike-slideshow-5.html">Runway to Roadway Style</a> piece in the New York Times and featured at <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/bikeportland/5018751309/in/photostream/">Interbike 2010</a>, which took place September 22-24, 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada. <br />
<br />
In November, The Bicycle Muse will be showcasing YAKKAY helmets at the <b><a href="http://sfbikeexpo.com/">San Francisco Bike Expo</a></b> and <b><a href="http://pedalsavvy.com/">Pedal Savvy Fashion Show</a></b>.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Buying Your YAKKAY Helmet Online</b></span><br />
<br />
There are obviously some drawbacks to buying bicycle helmets online. Specifically, it's always nice to try bicycle helmets on, but we're here to explain that it's definitely not impossible to find the right fit. In addition, buying bicycle helmets online can save you a lot of hassle.<br />
<br />
From my experience in talking with customers and helping them find the right helmet, here are some tips and advice for buying your bicycle helmets online: <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F4i6pMD7MeA/TLg9BYQJuuI/AAAAAAAABlo/CB7bunKWFOw/s1600/headside.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_F4i6pMD7MeA/TLg9BYQJuuI/AAAAAAAABlo/CB7bunKWFOw/s200/headside.jpg" width="200" /></a></div>1. <i><b>Measure your head accurately. </b></i><a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/helmets-yakkays-c-22_28.html%20">YAKKAY Helmets</a> come in Small, Medium, and Large (<span class="gry">S: 53 - 55cm M: 55 - 57cm L: 57 - 59cm). The best way to measure your head is to use a flexible tape measure and bring it all the way around the circumference of your head, across the middle of your forehead, just above your ears and around the widest point at the back of your head. This will determine which size bracket you fall under. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span class="gry">2. <i><b>Choose a cover</b></i>. This will largely depend on the type of hat you would usually wear. If you're more comfortable with a cap style, the <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/yakkay-helmet-paris-p-90.html">YAKKAY Paris Helmet</a> is for you. If prefer a sunhat/trilby style, then go for the <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/yakkay-helmet-tokyo-p-91.html">YAKKAY Tokyo Helmet</a>. When choosing a color option for a particular helmet style, it is a good idea to think about what color/shade clothes you usually wear and which color will compliment your everyday outfits. By doing this, you will be choosing a timeless bicycle helmet option.</span><br />
<span class="gry"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="gry">3. <i><b>Familiarize yourself with the helmet. </b></i>So you've selected your cover and size, placed your order with us at <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/index.htm">The Bicycle Muse</a> and your YAKKAY helmet has arrived. Here's an instructional video from YAKKAY to show you how to put the cover on the helmet, how to ensure the helmet is sitting in the correct position and how to apply the sponge pads.</span><br />

<span class="gry"><b><span style="font-size: large;">YAKKAY Helmets Inspire Stylish Change </span></b></span><br />
<br />
<span class="gry">When you first put the helmet on it does feel a little like wearing a bowl, but this is where the sponge pads come in! The sponge pads are truly a great idea, as everyone has a different shaped head, to give you the flexibility to fit the helmet specifically to your head. You may also find when you first put it on and look in the mirror, that the helmet looks bigger than a hat would! This is fairly obvious as there is a helmet underneath. We often get customers who initially feel self conscious for this reason. Usually, they find that once they have have worn it a few times they get used to it and the compliments they receive about their new <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/helmets-c-22.html">stylish bike helmet</a> outweigh any worries!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="gry">Also, YAKKAY Helmets feel very light and are comfortable to wear whilst cycling. The ventilation holes and the circular pads ensure you get air circulating within the helmet, so you don't get too hot and sweaty. </span><br />

<br />
<span class="gry">So following my own advice, I've measured my head and at 56cm I am a Medium. The <a href="http://www.thebicyclemuse.com/shop/yakkay-helmet-tokyo-summer-p-92.html">Blue Stripe YAKKAY Tokyo Helmet</a> is very similar to my sunhat and I wear lots of navy clothes, so this seems like the obvious choice and I am rather pleased with it! </span><br />
