Get ON YOUR BIKE!
I have a new bike. I love my old bike – it was a Mothers Day present when Jude was 11 mths old and he and I have shared wonderful rides from the baby seat – to accompanying him with his own bike, the first few wobbly rides with the training wheels off and now our 20km rides. But my new bike is bliss- fast, sleek and no basket on the front. Not a mummy bike but an exercise machine (how strange that that appeals to me …not). I will pick up the bike this week and I am like a koid waiting for Santa!
Recently I went riding with a couple of friends. I am lucky because one of them owns a bike shop – so we caught up, rode to a cafe by the ocean, had a juice, and rode back to the shop. I haven’t gone on a bike ride with grown ups – let alone friends for SO long! It was blissful!
With the emphasis on cities to improve bikeways (to cut down on traffic, carbon ommissions and obesity), I can not think of a better way to hang with friends than to get together and get on the bikes!
