Favourite Things Friday

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.

I'm linking up with Shay for Favourite Things Friday.

  7. Riding 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.

  8. You 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.

  10. Lol, 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!
