A Bicycle Built for ME!

Ok, so my bicycle wasn't really "built" for me, but i feel like it was!!! It was exactly, down to a T what i was looking for. It is a blue Columbia mens bike with a metal basket. I found it on craigslist for $70 and my tune-up at the adorable little bike shop down the road was only $25, so i feel like a cute new bike for less that $100 is a good deal!

My little bike is in really good shape too! it is a 1977 but only has some minor rust spots that are totally cosmetic. I have day dreams of feeling European riding around the city doing my errands, putting fresh bread in my basket to a romantic Amelie-esque soundtrack. In reality i am out of shape so i huff and puff up and down hills on my one speed and back pedal so no one hits me and i hit no one else! But it is always nice to dream huh?

This is my bike!

Look at the flowers i made for my basket :)

Yesterday the BF and i went for a 4+ mile bike ride around the water. We saw a lot of new things and it was super fun! except the part where i think i bruised my butt from my seat and my legs hurt all night :) I know i just need to ride more and more to work out my muscles but jeepers creepers did my legs ache!

As you can see this was when i was happy and didn't realize my legs hurt yet!

They had awesome murals of natural life on the walls on one stretch of path so i had to stop and smell the flowers!

Look at happy boy flying with the fireflies!

So, because of the adventure and then the hurty legs i didn't get chores or etsy stuff done so here is my to-do lit for today:

1. Make something for etsy (at least start it)
2. take pics and post my belt on etsy
3. do laundry
4. wash my floors!
5. go for a bike ride

Hopefully next time i post i will have some etsy stuff to show you!
