Caroline Merrill Rides Like The Spinster

Remember this?

 

Presto! Our grand prize supporter, Caroline Merrill has turned her pledge into a new Civia Twin City bike!

 

The guys at Huckleberry customized it a bit for her needs.

 

And Caroline had to don her new Nooworks kitty sweatshirt for her inaugural ride on her new bike, the same ridden by Karla in The Spinster, only in a different color.

 

And away she goes! Caroline admitted to not having ridden a bike since the 1970s and now spins around her SF neighborhood in style.

 

We want to thank all of our supporters again as we head into EDITING, starting NEXT WEEK! It's a very exciting time in Spinsterlandia! We're still on schedule, and have a very talented post-production team helping us out, thanks to all of YOU.

Describe what you like best about your bike: The flipped mustache bars with bar-end shifters!

Favorite time and/or place to ride: Midnight on a moonless night.

Tell us a funny story that happened to you on your bike: When I was training for the Olympics (Tae Kwon Do) in Korea, I was biking along a bridge and couldn't understand the warning sign. I kept speeding along & before I knew it, I flew off the bridge ( it had collapsed in the middle). Luckily, it wasn't too high & I landed in a deep part of a river below. Unfortunately, it ruined my competition but I survived.

Vélo Vogue tip of the day: Don't be a douche!
