This is a sweater specifically about riding in Los Angeles. I made it with set-in sleeves and high ribbing both on the body and the sleeves, so it would be more fitted than the other sweaters. I wanted to make slightly poufy sleeves too, but not sure exactly how to do that. They came out a little poufy anyhow, but not as much as I wanted. I had some problems with the neckline, but otherwise I am super happy with the way this sweater fitts. Like a glove! It's made out of merino wool. The front says "Bike Los Angeles Always." I was thinking about how BikeSummer shouldn't be the only time we ride LA. We should ride LA always! The back says "On my bike, Los Angeles is mine." That's my handwriting and I really do feel that way about how the relationship of bikes to the street defines a rider's urban landscape. The sleeves have chains and chainrings on them, and the decorative motif is from a vintage sweater. I made this sweater a little long, so that when I lean over to grab my bars, it won't ride up. Awesome!

Get on your damn bike, already!
