The new bus route is finally up and running in Cape Town, which means I won’t waste two hours of my life doing a horrible work commute. I’m all abuzz because there’s so much I’ll be able to do during those bus rides – like read books and draw perhaps? Heck, I may even study something!

But the biggest ‘hooray’ of this new development is that you can take your bike on the bus. That means I could cycle the last part of my journey, so I’ll get some actual exercise every day of the week.

But I have so many unanswered questions about bicycling etiquette. Like, how do I carry my laptop; because I’m not really a backpack kinda girl. Then there’s the question of helmet head? Not to mention the fact that a helmet isn’t exactly an accessory I’ve dealt with before. Also, will my make-up survive the uphill part of my journey? And what if I want to wear high heels to work?

One thing I do know is that I’ll be riding [in my dreams] this 26" cruiser bicycle with a Gucci logo on its frame and an engraved GG handlebar bell.

Take a look at http://www.gucci.com/us/styles/171257I31D02582# for more.


And while I may not be able to steer clear of cycling-hat-head, these yakkay helmets are definitely better than the plastic racing ones the cyclists wear.
