I want to ride my bicycle
I really want a bicycle. We’ve been riding bikes at the beach this weekend, and I forgot how fun it is, how fast you can go, how good it feels.
The bike that I’ve been riding here at the beach is a sort of Wicked Witch of the West bike — big handlebars, big tires, cushy seat. Sure, it’s a little frumpy, as bikes go, but it’s pretty comfy and it’s easy to ride. I want to get one and put cute little saddlebags or panniers or something on it to carry groceries and other stuff in.
I think about how my life would be revolutionized if I had a bike. I could put a baby seat on it for Elanor, and we could get to and from places so much faster than walking, and with the ability to put my bike on the bus, I could dovetail biking with public transit and get around so much easier. Plus, I’d get lots of exercise. Maybe I’d even get some muscle tone for once!
I’m going to keep my eyes peeled for a cheap bike. Let me know if you see anything or if you know of any good places to find a bike!

I want a bike too!! Mine got stolen in college and I’ve hardly ridden since. I feel like part of my identity is lost, because I used to ride all the time. Like you, I think it would be SO fun to toodle around with the little ones behind me. The added muscle tone would be fantastic too
. We need to Craigslist some cute bikes for ourselves, yea?
