Fave New Tee Shirt From The Chicago Green Fest

Organic cotton tee from Green Fest "Big Karma's Bike Repair". I love bicycling. I was out 3 times just last week. Great exercuse & fun. I'm doing 10-15 mile rides the first week of the season, by Fall, I'll be back up to 35-40 miles.

Ride on,

Dan

Ride on,

We Had A Wonderful Time At Green Fest...

...and saw our first Tesla model S on the road while on the way there. I took it as a good omen.

There were a lot of interesting vendors and organizations there. I got some great bumper stickers, (including a few for friends) an organic cotton tee shirt for bicycling, and a couple of other really cool tees, one about bicycling, one about spirituality and nature.

Saren got a couple of absolutely stunning hoodies made from recycled textiles, and a beautiful scarf made from recycled kitchen towels.

We also got a lot of information on green products and services.

The weather was fantastic.

Saren & I are off to Green Fest!
