I used to live in a quite hilly area. There weren't any bike or footpaths in my old neighbourhood and the speed limit on the busy road was 80kmph (50mph).
One of the many benefits of my new neighbourhood is it's much more pedestrian and bike friendly, there are footpaths and bike paths to ride on, roads with speed limits of 50kmph, and no steep hills to climb.
So I just had to buy myself something fun.
I love it. I love the colour, it makes it go faster and makes me look cooler! BP and I ride around the neighbourhood when she is here on the weekends. It's so much fun and it's great exercise.
I had to have a bike with a basket. I haven't used it yet, but it looks cute, eventually I'll make a fabric lining for it.

Eeeeeeek! I want one! And I want a user friendly neighbourhood to ride it in. So jealous!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Love the color, it will definitely make you faster. Great favorite this week.
ReplyDeleteA bike! I thought you were joking! Good for you! Cycling is fun and great exercise!
ReplyDeleteI love that bike and want one exactly like it!
ReplyDeleteCheck you out with the basket! Now I want to see pics of it with a handmade bag hanging off the handle and lovely fresh bread sticking out the top ;-)
ReplyDeletenice favorite .. I wish I had one. Way to get healthy and all that. Do you ride to the stores and everything?
ReplyDeleteRiding bikes is the best... though I don't ride much these days seeing as I moved to a hilly place. Your bike is definitely very stylish, especially with that basket. I hope it has a cute bell too.
ReplyDeleteYou know they say you never forget how to ride a bike? Im pretty sure I've completely forgotten how because it's been so long since I got on one.
ReplyDeleteIm sure you're going to have a lot of fun exploring the neighbourhood on that bike. Im with Kelly I want pics of bread in the basket !
It is lovely Marg, I love the colour! I think you should crochet some flowers for your basket... ; )
ReplyDeleteLol, love the basket! I'm trying to work out if I can ride my bike to work in the summer, but unfortunately they seem to not have a bridge across the Clyde in the right place, so I'd have a good chunk to do on the main road, and I am soooo not up for that!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! My bike is hiding in the shed covered in cobwebs...no time to ride!
ReplyDeleteGot to say I am scared of riding bikes and I haven't done it in years. but that bike looks pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteSounds fantastic. You are so lucky you have some nice flat places to ride. I bet you lose weight just having fun !!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your bravery....you go girl go!
ReplyDeleteI bet it does go faster and of course you look cool riding it. I'd want to have a basket too :)
