I like to stretch the limits of what is appropriate on a bike. Twenty pounds of clothes and food stuffed into my basket? Done it. Four-inch wedges biking around town? All the time. What can I say – I’m no Lance Armstrong.
I think this may be the blog’s first introduction to my bike (named Birdie) – which is hard to believe. In the spring, summer and fall I’m on this baby all the time. Though very hilly (I live on top of a ginormo hill) Portland is a great bike town. People love their bikes! Mine is an Electra Townie model from two years ago. My only complaint is that it is heavy (she’s a big girl) but I love it. I’m still obsessed with the color, my favorite of all time. Next step is a 1957 Chevy in Turquoise (my dream car since I was 5 years old).

Here are a couple photos from this weekend’s WMPG Fashion Show. Good news – I didn’t topple over!

About sweetersalt
Salt = sodium = bad.
Sweet = calories = bad.
Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No.
This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things.
But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet.
Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking!
I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond.
It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.

Love your outfit…I’m just amazed that you ride your bike in wedges! I would be a hot mess trying to do that! Great pics from the show too!
I’m impressed! I’m sure I’d fail at riding a bike in heels. Love that dress! I wish I lived in a more bike friendly area.
