I Love My Bike

Well, I've got my bike back from the shop after having it's wheels fixed and I've been out two nights in a row.

And, I'm LOVING it!!!

Last night we (Karen and I) were out for an hour - we were quite tired by the time we got home and my legs were just a wee bitty shaky!!

I really enjoyed it though.

Tonight we were out again and only for 45 minutes and again we had a great cycle.

Here is my bike.

Debbie - I took your advice and got a basket for it, what a great buy that was - it is so useful. My rain jacket and camera safely stashed in there and can you see - my bike is purple :))

I took this picture - that is the Marine Hotel (the one where Karen works) with Arran in the background.

I'm hoping to get out again tomorrow - who thought I would get so much pleasure from cycling. Certainly not me

Good for you, Ellie! I love your purple bike. That looks to be a really, really nice (and fancy?) hotel. Lovely!

I used to enjoy cycling way back in the dim and distant, but now, only rarely as a way of getting somewhere out of walking distant (and now I have the car again even that has died down). It's an excellent form of transport and so much further to the gallon than a car (also a gallon of tea cost less than a gallon of petrol). I hope you continue to enjoy it for a long time to come.
