Chameleon Bob Facebook

The seat Bobike

This year, the white-bearded grandfather called Amsterdamer !

Children grow and with winter jackets, it becomes difficult to install in the seat Hamax which was used until today.

Some parents decide when their child to sit directly on the rack, with legs dangling. I already have 2 children and moved cross whose foot got stuck in the spokes of the rear wheel ripped nail for the girl and broken toe sandal for boys basketball. In short, it's risky.

The time has come to test the seat I was talking Bobike Junior here 3 years ago.

Amsterdamer being one of the retailers is the opportunity to contact them to order it and try to negotiate a discount for the writer of the famous cycling blog wheelbarrow. And then, surprise, they offer to provide the exposure model.

A big thank you to so amsterdamer.fr

It takes about 100 € to order this seat Bobike Junior with his fixation system as universal (see here or at your favorite bike shop) or 80 € for the seat only if you are already the proud owner of a seat Bobike Maxi +. Indeed, the mounting system is identical for these 2 models, simply remove one to put up another. It's interesting if you have one large and one small child.

Mounting:
I think my Dutch bike (Batavus Verona) is the "worst" bike fix this type of accessory: a luggage rack high and wide, tubes with diameters so important. For the record, my bike shop had the greatest difficulty in installing the carrier stroller at the time. Here the attachment system is compatible with pipe diameters up to 25 mm to 50 mm frame and the seatpost. I even think it can be installed on the bike if I barrow a pair slightly longer bolts (to be continued ...).
Not possible to mount the seat directly on the guys (too low), so I have to use the most universal kit (VTT, VTC). And yet, the luggage rack of my bike has a hoop that will pose a problem to install the seat: it crashes!

I go back a little fixing kit and there it goes. Finally, a piece under the seat is flush with the luggage rack to 5 mm, so I did well not to cut the end that went back ...

And the second problem, the luggage rack is very high and the front skirt is very wide on my bike seat Bobike pipe is too short to be set: the solution is to remove the lens skirt.

As well as protecting the skirts, it keeps children's feet get stuck in the spokes, it bothers me a little story. I try to fix the vertical bar to the rear.
Phew, it goes and I think it will hold out, since the diameter of the tubes of luggage rack. The footrests are in position: top view

And it's compatible with Follow Me!

Test :
The snow has finally melted in Strasbourg, the streets once again become passable by bike. This is an opportunity to test the seat with Jules (6 years). He reaches up and down alone.

Jules is a little surprised by the absence of an armrest but appreciates regain some space. A waist strap can attach, but it will be especially useful with the youngest. As is generally less than on a high seat Hamax type, stability is quite good.
footrests are enough behind to not interfere with pedaling and the small luggage rack Integrated is perfect to put the binder. Just stay to find a tensioner to secure it.

Conclusion:
Fairly easy to install, the first tests are very positive. I will make you a more complete after a few weeks of use.

Mini Long Travel Sand Cars

Bijou Party! Geometric

Hello hello,

And first of all thank you for all your kind words about my scarf interlacing ... It motivates to finish! Moreover, at a time when I write, I only have two rows, yes yes yesssss!

meantime, I finished three other knits that I'll show you after the holidays, if their recipients are walking around here ... While there is little chance, you never know, that would be eh nerd!

But hey, a break was needed at knitting as well as an irrepressible desire to do something for me, haha .... As I was strolling
from blog to blog in search of jewelry leather that inspire me I came across this headline leather smart enough ... EUR 33.

Remember, I found plenty of leather scraps of lamb and I had almost nothing, so it was the opportunity to make my sleeve purple Christmas!

Here is the beast:







I love him very much, in fact, even if at the time of fitting I had doubts about the chosen color ... I find rock and roll but chic enough - the risk of being vulgar purple leather or a revival Jeanne Mas, redundant - so here I am relieved.

Also, I've found another role to play, to secure a scarf or a scarf, it also does not?


Oh and while I think Merry Christmas!

Does Brent Everett Bottom

Love me little


is a patient one day who tells me about his childhood and his parents. Including his father, who had great difficulty accepting love relationships and sentimental. With the need to be loved, like all humans, but difficult to be too strong as some.

Then she tells me that he told his wife, the mother of the patient "Love me little but love me long time, always."

To avoid being stifled by too much love?

Strongest Party Ofpokemon

About the blog (2): rapture ...


After the irritation (see yesterday's post) the rapture: help, learn and perspective.

Help: I think this blog makes service sometimes it brings to users at times a bit of support, lighting, smile, comfort, reflection. Not just my posts but the comments when the discussants address each other in a process of using

Learn: I also think that from time to time, you learn things on this blog. Again, not just by my posts: if I enjoy reading the comments you leave, because I learn. Even if I do not get involved in the discussion (especially lack of time and bias of this discussion let totally free, without the influence) I am. And regularly, I find the pearls: reflections, testimonies, quotes, links ... It's almost every day something amazing, interesting, from feeding, touching, stimulating. Small delights to discover that a group of people can produce in terms of intelligence and wisdom or originality.

perspective: this is another form of learning. We talked yesterday extract what pleases us and touches us all that displeases us and saddens us, avoiding the temptation to throw in the trash, it's an interesting effort. This tells us our eyes to nuances, to welcome the world in its diversity. And finally, to love ...

1 st place, turn, purl 2 together, turn ...
Right now, for sure, I count:





Ah, geometry, reminds me of the double decimetre, compass, Figures ... and colored pencils as well, to make it nicer on the notebook.
Later, the geometry is the discovery of abstract art, Mondrian, Op-art, Vasarelli and my obsession for the mid-sixties that I never left.

Today, when I said geometry, I would say "Great, I'm going to sew a dress Mondrian ... Alas, I still do not sew, so I resume my hands and my tracery.

Always so much fun knitting this scarf ... The pattern in English is available HERE , but its author Allison let me do a translation downloadable
for non-English speakers in the mesh!
She is beautiful, unisex, soft but but but .... It's long!

So if you look well third picture, you see the ball at the top right and a needle tip in the upper left, which means I have not finished!

Scheduled for 4 balls of Noro Silk Garden, I knit with the Cinque home Lana Grossa, just as pretty and much cheaper, I advise you! Changes colors are gorgeous ...

My défi'13 is not finished in time ... I cheated a bit on this one.
Soon soon ... Besides, I go back, but not without having gone admire your figures .

Madeleine Pan Craigslist

Hood!

Hello hello!


The coldness first arrived in the Drome, but even here there is sun so often that I do not feel them! And when the real indigenes say it's cold, well I can not find ... Must say that growing up in Burgundy and then live in Montana, it gives you weapons anti-cold!

Except when the Mistral blows ... New to me, biting wind that whips as well as an old pie! (Wow, humor humor!)

Anyway, an excellent excuse for me to make the Peaks Island Hood of Ysolda .


Yes, I know I have to block my work ... But I wear it all the time, so ...




Patron very pleasant, very meticulous construction great, this scarf-hood has not left my neck or my ears when wind wakes ...

I used some of Anny Blatt Fine Kid, double knit, needles 6, stucco colors, a marvel of light taupe beige. It took the equivalent of three balls.

The buttons are vintage, I do not even remember where I found those ... Flea Lyon, I think, but long ago they were sleeping in a box.

In any case, even if like me you find the point of rice a bit daunting, the result is worth it. This model is hot on the chest, hood handy avoids having a cap in pocket, and then recognizes the key Ysolda in detail.

Otherwise, I change the subject ... Did you know that I pretty visitors to my porch? Instead, look my new boyfriend, he must love my disco ball!


soon, courage, after all the cold that comes back is all Benefit 'for us, knitters, right??

Waxing Brazilian Whiteheads

Défi'13 ... outdated ...

Where lies a whole clutter of modes obsolete ,
_Baudelaire_


themes of défi'13 follow and do not look alike ... If I talk about certain issues more or less, than in November made me jumping for joy!

I the model aside for a long time, along with three balls Mirage (totally vintage, unearthed in attic) of Bergère de France, a blend of worsted wool and mohair, pink color old ... Yes I know I'm supposed to hate pink, but it is especially ... and very difficult to photograph!

short, the theme colors faded "fell to the bottom! I will not retrace my hair delusions top sauerkraut totally retro these days, nor on my bibi adored, at least for me, faded colors, is synonymous of yesteryear, the Roaring Twenties, cameos , the picture of my grandmother at 25 years in the 30 and an incredible class ...

So I set my heart on "Sideways Great Bell" Laura Irwin, who made me feel like more than a year ...

And while at it, go zou, a bit of staging, I took out the cameo by Aunt Susan left for the occasion ...


so indescribable color between gray and light pink ... The large size model but I have a big head and lots of hair store below! It seemed to be a problem many "Ravelreuses" but not me ...

It is hot, he is class, he places himself on the head perfectly and it was very fun to knit. What more? Inspiration by going to see this not your interpretations of this theme very poetic for my taste.

Where Did Bam Get Rib Tattoo

The wool dress ... and bibi! When



Ah, those bougnettes, weeks and nothing then bang! they do not stop!
must say that travel is (for) is for croutons. So Mad Men before and during a rainy orange alert that I finished my little dress in baby alpaca.

boss is improvised, since I control the top down, hop hop, it takes shape as and when fitting. I am unable to knit the front, back and sleeves, then sew, then try to finally realize that it will not! Cheers for the top-down and fitting as you go!

Small simple dress, then, to bear all that in On Mode Off, what to ask more? It was almost a year since I had dug up a lot of balls from the spinning Alpalite Di Crossa and I had this faucet head. It was just finding the time!

Here in pictures:





So no, the left pocket is not shifted, it is I who am so bad that I always deflected the pool a little ...

Otherwise you have to wonder what's on my head: Little bougnettes will recognize, this is my bibi winter 2010, in perfect condition, unearthed for the modest sum of EUR 3 Montelimar to Emmaus ... Watch as cabbage




Obviously, I will not work with .. . My students do not call them! As for my beautiful shoes, it's the ultimate pair purchased in the last shoe of Lyon before it closed shop last July ... Very nice 60s suede boots purple, handmade, leather sole toe ... There are days like this, when I say that I have a cave of Ali Baba in my dressing room, despite my meager purchasing power!

There are days like this, where we extend many holidays and croûtonnage, but everything has an end. We meet the 13 , I think!
