Road ID - Safe AND Stylish

One of the main objectives for the members of Las Lindas is to ride pretty. Helmets are not always fashionable and can oftentimes ruin a fabulous hairstyle (one done by our favorite stylist, Che' at Jerry Heston). We would never ask you not to wear a helmet but if you choose not to, we will ask you to be safe. And being safe has never been so stylish with the creation of Road ID.

Recently I was introduced to Road ID and jumped on the safety wagon (which plays a continuous beat of the Safety Dance...sorry, I had to). For just $20, you get a wristband in your favorite color with all of your contact information as well as a nifty little saying - we suggest "Viva Las Lindas!"

This way, you can ride pretty, show off Che's master-styling skills AND ride safe.

And the founders of Road ID are from the Bluegrass State to boot!

(sidenote: Las Lindas does not condone not wearing helmets. Even if you do wear a helmet, you should also have a Road ID in case of an accident. It could save your life!)

Carla is a stylemaker.

It's official because it was published in the paper: Kara is my best friend.

Las Lindas do Thunda '09

Las Lindas kicked off the spring by riding bikes to Thunder over Louisville. (Image: Kara on her sweet Schwinn). Ten of our closest friends jumped on bicycles and cruised around town, kicking off the Derby season in the best way. We started at Kara's in Germantown, rode to Derby City Espresso, down to the waterfront, 732 Social then to Debbie's house for a fiesta. This was the first ride where I broke out my portable iPod player - which is such an amazing little invention. About the size of a wallet, it hooks onto my basket and plays some serious tunes. I created a mix loaded with all songs "Thunder"!

The other highlight of the ride was that we convinced all of the boys to wear short jean shorts. Us gals have to stick together - If the boys want to ride with these hot chicas, they may be subject to some laughs.

Be on the lookout for a post regarding the next official event in June. And remember, shoot us an email if you want to receive the official Evite and become a member of Las Lindas. Remember, girls only because "Bikes rules, Boys drool. Viva Las Lindas!"

Las Lindas, or the pretty girls in Spanish, is a bicycle gang started by Kara Taylor and Carla Terwilleger in Louisville, KY. Our motto is “No hills, no sweat, no tears” and we can be found riding around town on our fabulous Schwinns ringing our bells, waving to common folk and putting smiles on the faces of boys and girls.

The prerequisites for being in our elite gang are easy – You must be good looking, know how to have fun and own a bicycle. We know every route in town without a hill and we promise an excellent time.

Our blog is brand spanking new, but will start rolling soon. Be on the lookout for updates on Las Lindas events, happenings around town and overall bicycle fun. And please send us an email if you are interested in being part of the action!

Bikes rule, boys drool. Viva Las Lindas!

Also - If you are interested in becoming a memeber but don't have a bicycle - never fear! Contact us and Bikes by Kara will hook you up with a sweet ride.
