Name: Karla O'Connor
Occupation: Marketing manager for a small fashion company
Raison d'être: Make people look good and feel good, starting with myself
Current city/Neighborhood: SF/Lower Haight
Favorite city to ride a bike in in the world: I love biking in Paris. My best friend Phoebe and I went there a few summers ago and had a blast with the
Vélib rentals. So easy and fun. I love Paris for everything. Except I guess vegetarian food.
Helmet or no helmet: Riding around town, I wear a hat with a brim to hold my hair in check and keep the sun out of my eyes.
Type of bike: Civia Twin City
Describe what you like best about your bike: I love the step-through frame: so easy to hop on and off in a skirt. I also love the smooth ride and easy handling.
Civia makes solid bikes that look great too.
Describe your personal style: I find that if I wear what I like, people like what I wear.
Favorite accessory when riding: Po Campo purses because they strap right onto the bike - don't have to carry it, don't worry about losing it or someone swiping it.
Favorite time and/or place to ride: I like riding to dinner in the evening, after work, with my husband, Todd.
Tell us a funny story that happened to you on your bike: I met my husband, Todd, online, and our first date was a
Critical Mass ride. I was sporting a super cute
Nooworks dress with a very flouncy skirt. So flowy in fact that as we were riding along the ridge above Fort Mason a breeze blew it up in my face. Todd still thinks I did it on purpose.
Vélo Vogue tip of the day: Always wear cute unders when biking in a skirt. You never know who might see you -- or what they might see!
