I think I rode it once or twice last year.<br />City bikes. I think that's what my friend bought-no speed, bigger seat. That's what she wanted too-and a basket on the front. I'll tell her about the flowers.<br />Last summer I did put my bike on the bike rack of the car, drove to a pretty locale and then rode my bike around shooting pics in places it would have been difficult to walk to and impossible to find parking. Will your basket fit your camera too?<br />Hope all is well-pedal on!!Simon https://www.blogger.com/profile/03844538179633976411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-12802615040569739592011-09-22T07:38:08.917-07:002011-09-22T07:38:08.917-07:00love this post ~ I can visualize you keeping up wi...love this post ~ I can visualize you keeping up with the guys! you are a trooper!

First it was hybrids, fairly comfortable. After doing a fair bit of road riding, we moved to comfort road bikes. Always a reluctant road rider, I nevertheless stuck with it because my husband loved it so much. Until ... a dog chased me and ran in front of me. I'll spare you the details, suffice it to say that my comfort level dropped significantly. Now I only ride on rails-to-trails and secluded coastal area roads. Stay in your comfort zone and smile, smile, smile! :DDottihttp://www.camperky.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-9239218887747487702011-09-21T17:16:05.373-07:002011-09-21T17:16:05.373-07:00What a delightful post!

Most of them ride big tire bikes and seldom wear helmets, often talking on their cells while they ride. Yikes! I hope you are wearing a helmet -- it's saved my husband's life at least twice!ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08748316725457763377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-289675537580175822011-09-21T12:31:38.981-07:002011-09-21T12:31:38.981-07:00I smiled at everyone in the supermarket the other ...I smiled at everyone in the supermarket the other day and they all smiled back.

It's super comfy and I could sit on it for hours. I never liked mountain bikes either and I can't even tell you how many seats I went through in the search for a comfortable one.Kathryn Dychehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17175563748388497142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-25046539755183183732011-09-21T10:02:45.137-07:002011-09-21T10:02:45.137-07:00Kat, it's a lovely story you have here - I lov...Kat, it's a lovely story you have here - I love bicycle for the pleasure to ride and enjoy the country around.<br />But I am definitely not an extreme rider, never liked mountains rides as well. Too complicated and all the beauty of cycling disappear as you have your eyes staring at the next corner or the rock on the road. <br />Keep smiling on your bike! I am sure that I would cross your way you'll make my day!<br />Take careAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069190054658675691.post-29453875805419365502011-09-21T08:24:52.384-07:002011-09-21T08:24:52.384-07:00Kat,
