Starla - Globe Experience: February 2010
http://starlaglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
100 Miles on a Fixie Vs. Roadie. I'll start off by showing you what the (almost) end result looks like- this is Eric and I at 103 miles and we still weren't done with the Tour de Palm Springs. And this is the start, approximately 10,000 participants for this event. At 7:00 am, Eric and I were already 11.58 miles into our first century before we even got to the start. Why? A Quick Step jersey- list goes on.). Eric on his fixed gear. And you call me crazy? Eric and mystery kid had twin bikes too. I thi...

Starla - Globe Experience: Bike Geek Weekend with MASH SF and GoldSprints
http://starlaglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010/05/bike-geek-weekend-with-mash-sf-and.html
Bike Geek Weekend with MASH SF and GoldSprints. Okay, so I said I was done blogging here but I couldn't NOT blog about this Saturday. I didn't make it to the AMGEN Tour of California. Time trials in Downtown LA but I made up for it tenfold- at least from my perspective. If you've never heard of MASH SF. After checking out MASH stuff and picking up a pair of arm warmers (I'm a sucker for colorful arm warmers. I headed over to Cynergy Cycles. Where they had plenty of booze at the GoldSprints.

Starla - Globe Experience: Necessary Evil: Running
http://starlaglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010/02/necessary-evil-running.html
Although I could just solely stick to biking, I feel the need to cross train and that means I have to run. The masochist cyclist in me that drags my friends on long, sometimes very hilly rides (Malibu Canyon, anyone? Apparently rears it's little head when I decide to "go for a quick, short run." The funny thing is, it's not very quick nor is it very short. I will say that with only two weeks to prep since my recovery from the stint in the ER, I was able to accomplish three out of four of my goals. Courtn...

Starla - Globe Experience: December 2009
http://starlaglobebikes.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
On My Way to Mellow Johnny's. Not familiar with the name? Whether you ride a bike or not, you definitely know the name- Lance Armstrong. I'm taking a last minute trip to Austin, Texas for the sake of getting away and you know where I'm going? LANCE ARMSTRONG'S BIKE SHOP, Mellow Johnny's. Links to this post. I cheated on the Roll 2. And I went mountain biking on this sweet ride:. Yup, it's an Specialized S-Works Safire! Rico doing some crazy downhilling. It's a lot steeper than the picture shows. For the ...

Starla - Globe Experience: Bikes + ♥
http://starlaglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010/02/bikes.html
1) It all started with this blog post. In the New York Times called Two Wheels Two Seats = Love. Apparently, "if you want to see how solid your marriage is, give it a test ride on a tandem bike." SpokesNYT. Is an interesting urban cyclist on twitter too if you're interested. 2) Then I thought, if tandem bikes. Are used to measure how solid your marriage is, do couples bother to ride one BEFORE tying the knot? 3) But sometimes, relationships come to an end. But I'm stuck here. Getting misty over you.

Starla - Globe Experience: A not-so-easy ride. Tour De Bike Shops.
http://starlaglobebikes.blogspot.com/2010/02/not-so-easy-ride-tour-de-bike-shops.html
A not-so-easy ride. Tour De Bike Shops. There was a torrential downpour all day Friday and I was super bummed I couldn't ride Santa Monica Critical Mass so I walked into Cynergy Cycles. Thinking I was going to pick up one small item but apparently, I fixed my rainy day blues by making a dent in my wallet.Who said retail therapy doesn't work? Oh, I did because this lack of riding affected me the next day. Next weekend and ended up at a few different bike shops. In Huntington Beach, another Specialized.

Starla - Globe Experience: November 2009
http://starlaglobebikes.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
I'm sure most of you are sick of my shaky videos so I made a video slideshow instead. :) Now you can view the hazards, crowded streets, and lack of bike lanes, all without experiencing the streets that are riddled with potholes! The best part of the ride to work is that it takes just as long to get there on a bike as it does in a car, mostly because it's downhill. The ride home, well, that's a different story.I'm not going to lie, I sometimes wish for gears on my ride home. Riding to Work in West LA.
