I love this Public M8 bike. It’s got eight speeds which makes it practical for getting up and down hills, it’s ready-made for adding a super cute basket to the front, and the frame design is based on a classic Parisian city bike from the 1960s and 1970s. But mostly I love it because it’s yellow.
With all of the rainy weather we’ve been having here in San Francisco I could really use a new outdoor doormat. A rubber weatherproof doormat is the key to preventing all sorts of outdoor debris and mud from making its way onto my hardwood floors. These clever manhole cover door mats are cheeky and fun. My fave is the Paris Sewer Manhole Cover, the other cities don’t have quite the same glamour element (really no glamour element). The Paris design is much more aesthetically appealing, as are most things Parisian in my mind. From Feet First Doormats, the entire collection is made of 100% recycled truck tires and nylon flocking for extra durability.
