It’s been on my wish list for a while and since living in Australia, it had to jump straight to the top of the list!
A vintage-inspired bicycle to call my very own.
I call it an early 30th birthday present to myself :-)
It's a limited Alloy Ladies Retro bicycle in a
lovely shade of champagne with a black leather saddle which will over time mold
perfectly to my backside. It’s accessorized with a woven wicker basket and a rear
rack for toting my picnic essentials, reading material, sun lotion and maybe
the odd bit of shopping if I make it that far.
Micky also bought himself a bike, but not a vintagey-looking one.
Haven’t quite got used to these gears and cycling uphill yet....
Perth roads are clogged with big, noisy vehicles, too many road works and endless traffic, so it’s really nice to take a ride along the river or follow one of the cycle paths after work and at weekends and enjoy some nature and tranquility. Now the weather is hotting up (30 degrees today), cycling with the sun following your track and feeling the push of a warm breeze is lush.
Will have to give mum a go and take her out for a ride when she arrives next week! :-) I’m sure it’s been a few years since she's hopped on one.
Will take more pictures ;-)
